Review
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Very scholarly. But good info.By Jeremy Myers - Writing at RedeemingGodI have an idea I am pursuing about ancient pagan myths and the Hebrew Bible; and this book seemed like a good resource to help my research. It was a good resource.However; don't read this book unless you are a super geek. I'm just a plain geek; so this book was a bit too much for me. Nevertheless; I got out of it what I was looking for - evidence that Hebrew worship patterns had their origins in Canaanite religion.9 of 10 people found the following review helpful.
