The symbolism of the Biblical world
Book • 1978
This book, first published in German in 1972, is a groundbreaking study that compares the conceptual world of the Bible with ancient Near Eastern iconography.
It is generously illustrated with photographs and line drawings and covers various themes such as conceptions of the cosmos, destructive forces, the temple, conceptions of God, the king, and man's relationship with God. The English edition, translated by Timothy J. Hallett, provides 21st-century scholars with Keel's innovative methodology.
