The Urim and Thummim
a means of revelation in ancient Israel
by Cornelis Van Dam
- 4 Want to read
No exhaustive study of the Urim and Thummim has appeared since 1824, and in this book Van Dam sets out to rectify that lack of attention. He investigates all of the biblical data concerning this enigmatic oracular means of high-priestly revelation and their connection, in the historical books of the Old Testament, with the common phrase "to inquire of Yahweh/God.".
Concurrent with his study of the history of the oracle, Van Dam interacts with current discussion on the nature and process of God's revelation to humankind.
