This work offers a social-scientific analysis of Yehud and uses that analysis to construct a model through which to analyze later monotheistic religious developments.
Cataldos interdisciplinary effort is stimulating and potentially opens up new avenues of approach for future work. This book will be most fruitfully enjoyed by those with extensive knowledge of the contours of the monotheism question, be they graduate or postgraduate students, as well as teachers and professors in Biblical Studies, history, or sociology departments of schools with or without statements of faith, Jewish, Christian or otherwise Cataldos informed, nuanced reading of monotheisms patterns of development leaves one with much to think about, or perhaps, rethink. * Reviews in Religion and Theology *
Jeremiah Cataldo is Assistant Professor of History in the Frederik Meijer Honors College at Grand Valley State University, USA.
