Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough and engaging investigation into the concept of an afterlife in the Old Testament, providing fresh insights into the evolution of theological thought within early Judaism. Drawing on passages from the books of Genesis, Exodus, and others, the author demonstrates that the ancient Hebrews held a strictly materialistic view of existence, with no belief in an immortal soul or any form of consciousness after death. Instead, their hope for continued existence centered solely on the preservation of their family line, a belief that profoundly influenced their ethical and social values. As time went on, however, and the influence of neighboring cultures grew, a gradual shift occurred in Jewish thought. The book explores this transition, showcasing how the comforting certainty of material continuity gave way to a growing discomfort with the concept of ultimate extinction. Through an in-depth analysis of key biblical texts, this book sheds light on the foundational beliefs of ancient Judaism and the profound impact they had on the development of religious thought.
