Miller makes a contribution to the debate about the role religion played in the family, village, tribe and nation of ancient Israel. The book situates Israel's religion in the real world where social forces affected the makeup of beliefs and where popular cults openly competed with the "official" religion of Israel. Patrick Miller focuses on various key themes such as: images of God, orthodoxy, cult, sacrifice, offering, holiness and purity, leadership and participation.
