The Day of Yahweh: A Study of Sacred Days and Ritual Forms in the Ancient Near East

William Arthur Heidel

The Day of Yahweh is a scholarly book by William Arthur Heidel that explores the concept of sacred days and ritual forms in the ancient Near East. The book focuses on the ancient Israelite concept of Yahweh, the god of the Israelites, and how the Israelites celebrated his sacred days and rituals. The book also examines how other cultures in the ancient Near East celebrated their own sacred days and rituals, and how these practices influenced the Israelites. The author uses a variety of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and religious artifacts, to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of these ancient practices. The Day of Yahweh is an essential read for anyone interested in the ancient Near East, the history of religion, or the development of Judaism and Christianity.The American Historical Association.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
