Reviews for Breaking Monotheism: Yehud and the Material Formation of Monotheistic Identity

Cataldo's interdisciplinary effort is stimulating and potentially opens up new avenues of approach for future work. This book will be most fruitfully enjoyed by those with extensive knowledge of the contours of the monotheism question, be they graduate or postgraduate students, as well as teachers and professors in Biblical Studies, history, or sociology departments of schools with or without statements of faith, Jewish, Christian or otherwise ... Cataldo's informed, nuanced reading of monotheism's patterns of development leaves one with much to think about, or perhaps, rethink. * Reviews in Religion and Theology *
