Summary This book makes a linguistic, historical and theological case that the Tetragrammaton is most credibly pronounced Yahweh. It argues the Masoretic vowels on the Name were borrowed from Adonai, answers Nehemia Gordon's 'Yehovah' and the 'Yahuah' reconstruction, and draws on Greek transcriptions (Iaoue, Iabe, Iao), inscriptions, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Elephantine, Samaritan witnesses and theophoric names. It closes with the Son bearing the Father's Name as His agent and pastoral counsel to restore the Name without sectarian elitism.
