Publisher's Synopsis
""The Religion of Ancient Palestine in the Second Millennium B.C., in the Light of Archaeology and the Inscriptions"" is a scholarly work by Stanley Arthur Cook, first published in 1908. The book explores the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient people of Palestine during the second millennium BCE, drawing on archaeological evidence and inscriptions from the period. Cook examines the role of deities such as El, Baal, and Yahweh in the religious life of the people, as well as the importance of sacred sites and rituals. The book also delves into the social and political context in which these religious practices took place, shedding light on the wider cultural and historical landscape of ancient Palestine. Cook's work is an important contribution to the field of biblical studies and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient Near Eastern religion and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
