"Tell them 'I am' sent you." Sounds more cosmically fundamental than Baal or Odin to me.

"In the beginning was the Word" Logos...Divine Truth with a capital 'T'...doesn't sound very tribal to me either.

And then there is Job 39...

John does feature a transformed version of God but thats not the common theme in the Bible overall.

As for Job, nah. Still a finite petty being.
