Gods, Goddesses, And Images of God by Othmar Keel
How were male and female deities understood in ancient Canaan and Israel? Did Yahweh, the God of Israel, ever have a divine consort or partner? How was the Yahweh cult affected by religious and political features of Egypt, Assyria, and Canaan? Vindicating the use of symbols and visual remains to investigate ancient religion, the authors reconstruct the emergence and development of the Yahweh cult in relation to its immediate neighbors and competitors.
Othmar Keel is Professor of Old Testament and the Iconography of Ancient Palestine in the Department of Biblical Studies, University of Fribourg, Switzerland.
