Product Information

Excerpt from The Early Religion of Israel, Vol. 2: As Set Forth by Biblical Writers and by Modern Critical Historians The Jakaveh religion characteristic of Israel - The points to be examined in this chapter: I. Its origin; II. Its specific initial significance - I. Origin sought for in (1) Indo-Germanic; (2) Assyro-Babylonian; (3) Egyptian; (4) Kenite; and (5) Canaanite language or religion - Conclusion that it is distinctively Israelite - II. Significance - Etymological considerations - Critical derivation, Thunderer - Biblical derivation - Historical considerations in its favour - Importance of determining the initial signification of the name - If it is of Israelite origin, and introduced under definite historical circumstances, it must have a specific signification - The other explanation is open to the following objections: (1) There is evidence that Jahaveh was a tribal God; (2) No reason is given for the substitution of the name Jahaveh for El; (3) Slade's proofs are a confusion of early and late, and give intelligible account of the initial significance of the pre-prophetic conception of Jahaveh - Conclusion that higher qualities were there from the first. The thing that distinguished Israel in early times from the surrounding nations, and in later times, was their contribution to the religious good of the world, was the possession of the Jahaveh religion.
