DIVINE SECRETS AND HUMAN IMAGINATIONS - ANGELIK...

The articles in this volume of collected essays  written over the last two decades and all
revised  updated  and supplemented with unpublished material  are grouped around two themes:
Divine Secrets and Human Imaginations. The first essays deal with the production  initiation 
use and function  the abduction  repatriation  and the replacement of divine images  their
outer appearance  and the many facets of the divine presence theology in Ancient Mesopotamia.
The essays on the second topic deal with human imaginations  human constructs  and constructed
memories  which assign meaning to the past or to things or experiences that are beyond human
control. Thematically  several aspects of the human condition are examined  such as the ideas
associated in the Old Testament and the Ancient Near East with death  corporeality  enemies 
disasters  utopias  and passionate love. Berlejung's book is a gift to biblical scholarship 
particularly to those of us outside the circle of continentalscholarship. Its blend of deep
erudition and broad intellectual horizons is simply inspiring  providing a feast for the
scholarly imagination. Ronald Hendel in RBL 06 2022
