Samuel Noah Kramer Quotes

Personal God To Judge From The Covenant Between God And Abraham-note, Too, The Reference To A "god Of Nahor" In Genesis 31:53-the Ancient Hebrews Were Familiar With The Idea Of A Personal God. The Belief In The Existence Of A Personal God Was Evolved By The Sumerians At Least As Early As The Middle Of The Third Millennium B.c. According To Sumerian Teachers And Sages, Every Adult Male And Family Head Had His "personal God," Or A Kind Of Good Angel Whom He Looked Upon As His Divine Father. This Personal God Was In All Probability Adopted By The Sumerian Paterfamilias As The Result Of An Oracle Or A Dream Or A Vision Involving A Mutual Understanding Or Agreement
