A webinar with Dr. Benjamin Sommer, professor of Bible and ancient Semitic languages, JTS.
Part of our series "The 'Other' in Jewish Text and Tradition"
This session is generously sponsored by the Messer family in memory of Susan Kortsen.
The Bible frequently instructs the nation Israel not to worship "other gods" (אלהים אחרים). But the Bible never actually states that these other gods do not exist. Praying to other gods would be an act of disloyalty for an Israelite, but not an absurdity—there are apparently other gods who would hear the prayers in question. In fact, the Bible regards it as perfectly appropriate for other nations to worship them, because the "other gods" are simply the gods of other nations. In this session, we will examine the biblical attitude toward these other gods and what their existence implies about other religions. We will see, paradoxically, that the Bible remains monotheistic, even though it acknowledges the existence of many deities.
