Publisher's Synopsis
The concept of one God-monotheism-is a basic, fundamental part of our culture and beliefs today. However, it hasn't always been that way. Even the early Israelite people went wayward and worshiped other gods. Yahweh was only a single God on the pantheon.
A Crisis of Exile delves into the biblical, archaeological, and historical records to uncover what the religion of Ancient Israel was really like. Moreover, it reveals how the Babylonian Exile became the catalyst for propelling the Israelites into monotheism.
