This name is      best known from gnostic and magical sources, but till now no one has      provided a history of its background prior to its move into these genres,      necessary for placing it in the LXX’s textual tradition and understanding      the chronology of the gradual disuse of God’s name in non-mystical      contexts. This book presents new evidence (especially onomastic and      classical) for, and reveals problems with prior scholarship’s positions      on, the continued non-mystical pronunciation of the divine name among some      within second temple period Judaism, and precisely when the name Iao moved      into the mystical sphere. Key matters addressed include the divine name’s      forms in the LXX and NT. The work also contains the first English      translation and commentary of Byzantine polymath John Lydus’ chapter on      the Jewish God from De mensibus 4.53.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091864809815,"sku":"9789042929784","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-earliest-non-mystical-jewish-use-of-iao-9789042929784","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
