Trade Review
This is a challenging and stimulating book for anyone interested in the origins of the Jewish religion and its relation to contemporary religious practises in the ancient near east. -- Kirsty Anderson * The Reader *
Barker's detailed arguments and analysis of her topic is nothing short of encyclopedic - she covers vast amounts of ground with insightful detail . . . I look forward to her second volume -- Robin Jarrell, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA * Journal of Theological Studies, vol. 65 *
Barker’s work is impressive and the conclusions reached merit serious academic consideration, especially given the persisting fictive division between ‘official’ Josianic religion and Israelite ‘folk’ religion in a fair few strands of biblical scholarship. I look forward to the second volume. -- Alan Hooker, University of Exeter, UK * Theology *
