Publisher's Comments: Winner of Biblical Archaeology Society Award—Best Scholarly Book on Archaeology • 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. Reviews: "[A] most important contribution to the study of religion of Israel and its Canaanite or, more neutrally, Palestinian antecedents in a number of years....[Keel's] most comprehensive and far-reaching study to date." Patrick D. Miller, Journal of Biblical Literature
