The Oedipal Conflict in the Ancient Canaanite Pantheon and its Influence on Later Judaism and Christianity

Modern analysis of ancient Hebrew words, religious practices and history result in a new understanding of the earliest parts of the Old Testament.

Like the Greek pantheon, common interpersonal family relationships show themselves among the deities. Understanding those relationships may throw new light on interpreting the meaning of the Bible.
