Descrição: One of the most vibrant areas of interdisciplinary research on ancient Israelite culture has been the study of how divinity was represented through image and text. The search for anthropomorphic representations of Yahwistic divinity is all the more understandable when one considers how anthropomorphic representation of Yahweh appears on almost every other page of the Hebrew Bible. This chapter explores the degrees of abstraction, acknowledging at the outset that abstraction exists along a continuum especially when mixing ideas and art. The Deuteronomistic “Name Theology” was a reactionary theology in that it did not choose the rich vocabulary of “radiance” or divine fire. Sacred emptiness is an abstract tradition, wherein modern worshippers are so accustomed to worshipping an invisible God that little thought is given to how revolutionary the idea was in its original ancient Near Eastern context.
