A Study of Istar, Baal, and Yahweh Divine Names and Divine Multiplicity in the Ancient Near East
Description
This book investigates the issue of the singularity versus the multiplicity of ancient Near Eastern deities who are known by a common first name but differentiated by their last names, or geographic epithets. It focuses primarily on the Ištar divine names in Mesopotamia, Baal names in the Levant, and Yahweh names in Israel.
