Summary
This work investigates the emergence and development of Yahwism—the worship of YHWH—in ancient Israel. It explores the historical, cultural, and religious contexts that contributed to the formation of a distinct monotheistic tradition. The study examines how Israelite religion evolved from its polytheistic surroundings, focusing on the processes that led to the exclusive worship of YHWH and the establishment of a unique theological identity.
