- This 201-page book offers the first systematic discussion of the Host of Heaven texts in order to argue that the usual assumptions concerning them do not cohere with the evidence. In questioning how we should then read the Host of Heaven texts, it newly combines two sub-fields of research - namely, ritual theory and the Deuteronomistic texts - to situate the texts within a cohesive portrait of the development of Israelite religion. The research process was used to elaborate new methodological foundations for scholarly work in these sub-fields and explore the significant implications of these foundations for reconstructing early monotheism.
