Quote:By investigating the Khirbet al-Qom and Kuntillet 'Ajrud inscriptions,
William Dever's "Did God Have A Wife" covers the same ground. It is a compelling study and he seems to have convinced noted Israeli archaeologist, Amihai Mazar, that a progression is obvious from the Canaanite pantheon through henotheism with yahweh as the chief god in Judah to full-blown monotheism after the region was exposed to Persian thinking about Ahura-Mazada.
Of course the bottom line is that all of it is simply the lunatic ravings of primitive tribesmen and has no relevance at all in the 21st fucking century!
