The Worship of Baalim in Israel (Hardcover)

In this fascinating work of biblical scholarship, H. Oort and J.W. Colenso explore the worship of Baalim in ancient Israel, and its possible connections to the pagan practices of the Arabs at Mecca. Drawing upon the work of R. Dozy, they offer a detailed and insightful analysis of the religious practices of the ancient Near East, and explore how these practices were transformed and adapted in the context of the Abrahamic religions. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of religion and the connections between different religious traditions.
