Abstract

In this article, the authors examine, in the history of Judah, the process of imposing the temple of Jerusalem as the unique religious center in the name of the official Yahweh of the State, a powerful and punishing God, persecuting the religious manifestations of any other deity. The centralization of the cult in the service of power affects the popular religiosity of the people, eliminating even the domestic gods, the god of home, who sanctifies the family ties of the home. In contrast to the official Yahweh, popular prophets and sages preach Yahweh the paternal and maternal God of gratuitousness, who listens and welcomes the poor and oppressed.
