The Worship Of Baalim In Israel

By John William Colenso and Henricus Oort

Book Overview

The Worship of Baalim in Israel is a scholarly work written by Henricus Oort that explores the worship of Baal in ancient Israel. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the religious practices and beliefs of the Israelites, as well as the historical and cultural context in which they emerged. Oort examines the various forms of Baal worship that existed in Israel, including the worship of Baal as a fertility god and as a deity of the storm. He also explores the role of the prophets in denouncing Baal worship and the efforts of the Israelite kings to suppress it. The book draws on a range of sources, including biblical texts, archaeological evidence, and ancient Near Eastern literature. It offers a detailed and nuanced account of one of the most important aspects of ancient Israelite religion and sheds light on the broader religious and cultural landscape of the ancient Near East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
