The Evolution of God in Early Scriptures

This chapter delves into the concept of God's withdrawal from the nations and the assignment of angels to govern them as a means to prevent eternal condemnation, leading to the beginning of salvation with Abraham in Genesis 12. It explores the evolution of the concept of God in the early scriptures, from a territorial and local deity to the personalized God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and discusses the significance of sacred spaces, rituals, and the worship of Yahweh among the descendants of Abraham who did not go into Egypt.
