- Zusatztext
- <p>This monograph is a comparative, socio-linguistic reassessment of the Deuteronomic idiom,<i>leshakken shemo sham</i>, and its synonymous biblical reflexes in the Deuteronomistic History,<i>lashum shemo sham</i>, and<i>lihyot shemo sham</i>. These particular formulae have long been understood as evidence of the Name Theology - the evolution in Israelite religion toward a more abstracted mode of divine presence in the temple. Utilizing epigraphic material gathered from Mesopotamian and Levantine contexts, this study demonstrates that<i>leshakken shemo sham</i> and<i>lashum shemo sham</i> are loan-adaptations of Akkadian<i>shuma shakanu</i>, an idiom common to the royal monumental tradition of Mesopotamia. The resulting retranslation and reinterpretation of the biblical idiom profoundly impacts the classic formulation of the Name Theology.</p>
