This monograph suggests that historically, neither were as deviant as the Hebrew Bible appears to insist.

The biblical writers, motivated by ideological concerns, have thus deliberately distorted the truth about Manasseh and child sacrifice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eD.Phil. thesis under the supervision of Dr Paul M.
