Ben-Sasson, Hillel.

Understanding YHWHthe name of God in Biblical, Rabbinic, and Medieval Jewish Thought /[electronic resource] :by Hillel Ben-Sasson. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2019. - xii, 304 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Jewish thought and philosophy. - Jewish thought and philosophy..

Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Compassionate Presence: Hwh And The Measure Of Mercy -- Chapter 3: Omnipresence: Invoking The Divine Name Yhwh In Rabbinic Blessing -- Chapter 4: Personal And Non-Personal Divine Presence: The Name Yhwh In The Thought Of R. Abraham Ibn Ezra And R. Judah Halevi -- Chapter 5: "Silence Is Praise To Thee": The Name Yhwh In The Negative Theology Of Medieval Judaism -- Chapter 6: A Dynamic Linguistic Picture - The Name Yhwh In Sefer Ha-Bahir And In Early Provencal And Geronese Kabbalah.

This book unlocks the Jewish theology of YHWH in three central stages of Jewish thought: the Hebrew bible, rabbinic literature, and medieval philosophy and mysticism. Providing a single conceptual key adapted from the philosophical debate on proper names, the book paints a dynamic picture of YHWH's meanings over a spectrum of periods and genres, portraying an evolving interaction between two theological motivations: the wish to speak about God and the wish to speak to Him. Through this investigation, the book shows how Jews interpreted God's name in attempt to map the human-God relation, and to determine the measure of possibility for believers to realize a divine presence in their midst, through language.
