book of possible interest

[Doug Millison]

The following book appeared last week:

Mark S. Smith, The Early History of God: Yahweh and
the Other Deities 
in
Ancient Israel (second edition; the Biblical Resource
Series; Grand
Rapids, MI/Cambridge, UK: Eerdmans; Dearborn, MI: Dove
Booksellers,
2002).  $25.00 (pb).

This edition incorporates new primary data and some
secondary 
discussions
since the publication of the first edition just over a
decade ago.  
This
volume also includes a foreword by Patrick Miller and
a new 41 page
introduction which surveys developments in the field
over the last 
decade
and explains the relationship of this volume to
Smith's book published
last year, The Origins of Biblical Monotheism:
Israel's Polytheistic
Background and the Ugaritic Texts (Oxford/New York:
Oxford University
Press, 2001).
