Key Notes
Jiang's First Temple Yahweh is a fallible, sensitive poet God whose friendship with David makes Israel possible and whose worship requires argument and growth.
Yahweh is presented as a poet-god who creates through speech, edits creation by judgment, and creates Adam and Eve because he is lonely.
Jiang argues God is fallible: Yahweh is an inexperienced poet-god and new father whose mistakes allow both God and humans to grow.
