The revelation of YHWH's name to Moses is a momentous event   according to the Old Testament. The name `Yahweh' is of central importance   in Judaism, and `Yahwism' became tantamount to Jewish monotheism. As such,   this designation of God also attracted the attention of pagan writers in   the Graeco-Roman period. And early Christians had to deal with this divine   name as well. These three perspectives on YHWH constitute the framework for   this volume. It appears that the Name of God and its revelation to Moses   constitute a major theme which runs from the book of Exodus through the Old   Testament, early Judaism, and early Christianity. It also attracted pagan   philosophical interest, both positive and negative. The Name of God was not   only perceived from an insider's perspective, but also provoked a reaction   from outsiders. The combined perspectives show the fundamental importance   of the divine Name for the formation of Jewish and Christian identities.
