Zusammenfassung:"In Caring for the Dead in Ancient Israel, Kerry M. Sonia examines the commemoration and care for the dead in ancient Israel against the broader cultural backdrop of West Asia. This cult of dead kin, referred to as ancestor cult in some previous studies, in ancient West Asia comprised a range of ritual practices in which the living provided food and drink offerings, constructed commemorative monuments, invoked the names of the dead, and protected their remains"--
"In 'Caring for the Dead in Ancient Israel', Kerry M. Sonia examines the commemoration and care for the dead in ancient Israel against the broader cultural backdrop of West Asia. Sonia explores the nature of this cult of dead kin in ancient Israel, focusing on its role within the family and household as well as its relationship to Israel's national deity and the Jerusalem temple. She offers a fresh evaluation of the relationship between necromancy and the cult of dead kin, whether women were participants, and whether the cult of dead kin was viewed negatively in the biblical texts."--Page 4 of printed paper wrapper
