Summary

This chapter will investigate the reasons behind the transformation from polytheistic to monotheistic religiosity in the Levant during the first millennium BCE, seeking to understand how individuals were brought into a spiritual enhancement in their relationship with God that was marked by an avoidance of “things” toward an abundance of the word of God and the reference to His presence in the Temple built in Jerusalem.
