Yahweh And The Gods And Goddesses Of Canaan by John D. Day
A scholarly examination of how ancient Israelite religion emerged out of the broader Canaanite religious milieu, using archaeological, epigraphic, Ugaritic and biblical evidence to show Yahweh’s development within a pantheon, the roles of goddesses like Asherah, the divine-council motif, and the historical processes (syncretism, polemic, and reform) that transformed popular polytheistic practice into the distinctive monotheistic/monolatrous theology found in the Hebrew Bible.
