The Hebrew GoddessWayne State University Press, 1990 - 368 pages A revised edition containing new chapters on the Shekhina. The Hebrew Goddess demonstrates that the Jewish religion, far from being pure monotheism, contained from earliest times strong polytheistic elements, chief of which was the cult of the mother goddess. Lucidly written and richly illustrated, this third edition contains new chapters of the Shekhina. |
