Yahweh Versus Baal

The book explores the significance of Ugaritic texts, particularly the Baal texts, in understanding the foundations of Israelite religion. It addresses the longstanding scholarly interest in the parallels between Canaanite literature from ancient Ugarit and the Old Testament, highlighting a crucial gap in research regarding their relevance. By examining linguistic and cultural connections, the author aims to shed light on how these ancient texts contribute to a deeper appreciation of Israelite beliefs and practices.
