About This Tag

Ancient Near Eastern, biblical, and Second Temple texts often describe deities with bodies. Gods appear in visible form, walk, sit, march, and fight, occupy specific locations, and possess spatial extent that could in the mind of the ancient person be measured or seen. The Hebrew Bible inherits this conception, depicting God enthroned, manifesting in glory, marching into battle as a warrior, and meeting people face to face. Later Jewish and Christian writings continued to wrestle with these texts describing God with a body, especially in light of the theological innovation that eventually rejected the idea of God having a body.
