vaguelyacademic 's review for:
God: An Anatomy
by Francesca Stavrakopoulou
challenging
informative
medium-paced
Overall, I don’t regret the time I spent reading this book but it’s best understood as a simple introduction to the subject. Asserts some things she never really proves. Many things that she is merely theorizing she chooses to state as uncontested fact.
Weird to me that she leans so hard into attempting to vocalize the Tetragrammaton - feels almost disrespectful to modern Jewish audiences who would never, as well as being only a best guess anyway. Would’ve been super easy to introduce Adonai terminology early on in the same way she introduces El.
