| Summary: | In this excellent collection the revelation of the Name to Moses in Exodus 3 and 6 is sprung from the hinterlands of source criticism and discussed in terms of its theological, exegetical, and philosophical impact, not only in early Christian circles but in the Rabbinic tradition and amongst pagan authors., Patristic and medieval Christian fascination with the giving of the Name to Moses revolved to large extent around the consequential gloss provided in Exodus 3, ehyeh asher ehyeh, which was rendered even more metaphysically resonant in Latin (ego sum qui sum) or Greek (ego eimi ho on). But equally important to the Christian authors was an understanding, alien to Greek philosophy, that the Name had been given, or revealed, by God. |
