Thinking of Water in the Early Second Temple Period

Review [...] bemerkenswerten Sammelband [...]Michael Tilly in: Theologische Rundschau 82. Jahrgang (2017), Heft 3, pp. 195ff Product Description Water is a vital resource and is widely acknowledged as such. Thus it often serves as an ideological and linguistic symbol that stands for and evokes concepts central within a community. This volume explores 'thinking of water' and concepts expressed through references to water within the symbolic system of the late Persian/early Hellenistic period and as it does so it sheds light on the social mindscape of the early Second Temple community.
