Abstract

[This chapter examines Jewish and Christian Binitarianism in their non-monotheistic forms, particularly focusing on works from Peter Hayman, Margaret Barker, and Daniel Boyarin. It argues that at least two divine beings/figures/Gods were included in the structure of Israelite religion. It identifies patterns of ditheism or dualism where a second (or third) figure is featured alongside Yahweh: for example, the Angel of Yahweh and/or feminine divinities like the Goddess Asherah. The popular conception of Monotheism is not only seen as a novel invention to be scrutinised by earlier Jewish views of Yahweh and the second figure but is received pejoratively both among Second Temple Judaism and among some contemporary Christian scholars like Jürgen Moltmann, who is often accused of tritheism.]
