Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

Mythology Among the Hebrews and Its Historical Development is a foundational work exploring the mythological undercurrents in ancient Hebrew religion and their evolution through historical periods. Goldziher investigates how early Jewish traditions absorbed and transformed mythic motifs from surrounding cultures such as Babylonian, Egyptian, and Canaanite religions. He also examines the role of angels, demons, and divine mediators in post-biblical Judaism. This scholarly study remains essential for understanding the interplay between mythology and monotheism in the development of Hebrew religious thought.
