Two Gods in Heaven: Jewish Concepts of God in Antiquity

In this book, Peter Schäfer, professor emeritus of religion and Judaic Studies, complicates Judeo-Christian monotheism by reintroducing a second, junior Judaic god in Jewish history. Two Gods in Heaven: Jewish Concepts of God in Antiquity (Princeton University Press) traces the history of this lesser god through Jewish mysticism and redefines Judaism’s relationship with Christianity.
