| 978-1-59333-928-9 | Baudissin, Wolf Wilhelm Grafen. Die Geschichte des Alttestamentlichen Priesterthums Untersucht
Among the first books to approach the role of the Old Testament priesthood with a critical eye, Baudissin here presents a history of the institution. Dividing the biblical material according to the emerging documentary hypothesis, he first looks at the place of the priesthood in the various divisions of the Bible. A classic in the exploration of the official religious life in biblical Israel, this book classifies and examines separately the various forms that priesthood took in the ancient world. Long out of print and increasingly difficult to find, this study continues to be cited for its insights into the sacerdotal life of Israelite priests. More... | $119.00 | Add to Cart |

The cabalistic myths of his sources express the reality of the relations of being in the lurianic corpus. The lurianic system seeks to reformulate the relation of man and god, concentrating on the way that the being of the deity is revealed in man. More... | $99.00 | Add to Cart |
