AB Nathan MacDonald untersucht den Begriff 'Monotheismus' seit seiner ersten Verwendung 1660 und in seiner Funktion als Kategorie zur Erforschung des Alten Testaments. Durch die Analyse der Forschungsgeschichte des Begriffs und die kritische Exegese der 'Einheit' und 'Einzigkeit' Gottes im Deuteronomium ergibt sich ein neuer Zugang zum Alten Testament. - Nathan MacDonald examines the term 'monotheism' and its appropriateness as a category for analysing the Old Testament. He traces the use of 'monotheism' since its coinage in 1660 and argues that its use in Old Testament scholarship frequently reflects a narrowed, intellectualistic conception of religion."Finally, MacDonald's volume is a valuable contribution to the discussion because it is also a fine example of biblical theology, a truly insightful exposition of some of the significant themes in the book of Deuteronomy, accompanied by a fine, detailed exposition of crucial passages in the book. [.] This book is highly recommended for all who are interested in the debate concerning biblical monotheism and the larger study of Israel's religious identity."Robert Gnuse in Biblica, Vol. 86 (2005), No. 4, 558-560"This is one of the most significant and exciting books of biblical theology I have read for some time, illustrating how the Bible can come to life when critical attention is paid to the contemporary context of its interpretation."Philip Jenson in Themelios, Vol. 29 (2004), No. 2, 56-57
