God And The Social Process: A Study In Hebrew History - Paperback

by Louis Wallis (Author)

God and the Social Process: A Study in Hebrew History is a book written by Louis Wallis that explores the relationship between God and human society in the context of Hebrew history. The book delves into the idea that God played a significant role in shaping the social and political structures of the ancient Hebrews, and how their understanding of God affected their behavior and interactions with one another.Wallis argues that the Hebrews' belief in a personal, involved God who was concerned with the affairs of humanity led to the development of a unique social system that emphasized justice, compassion, and community. He examines various aspects of Hebrew society such as their laws, religious practices, and cultural traditions, and shows how they were all influenced by their understanding of God.The book also explores the ways in which the Hebrews' relationship with God evolved over time, from their early tribal origins to the establishment of a monarchy and the eventual exile to Babylon. Wallis argues that throughout this history, the Hebrews' faith in God remained a central guiding force, shaping their identity and providing a sense of purpose and direction.Overall, God and the Social Process offers a fascinating exploration of the intersection between religion and society in the context of Hebrew history. It provides valuable insights into the ways in which our beliefs and values shape our social structures and interactions, and how the study of history can help us better understand the complex relationship between God and humanity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
