| Description | The paper reconsiders a/symmetry in the study of religions of the pre-exilic Israel. It deals with different kinds of sources and their methodological relevance for the process of a/symmetric reconstruction of ancient religious life. Besides the "classical" question of a/symmetric relations between Biblical and non-Biblical written sources it is aimed at the archaeological evidence which often provides a radically different picture. The sphere of material evidence raises questions not only about the relation of various sources to the same or similar items but, more often, to qualitatively different aspects and levels of ancient religious life. |
