Description

'Breaking Monotheism' makes the case that the failed vision of a theocratic utopia in the biblical texts has contributed (in a structural sense) to the exclusionary focus of monotheistic religion. Using the Persian province Yehud as its primary case study, it embodies a special focus on the interaction between religion and the social-political body in several important areas.
