4 videos • 4,085 views • by Centre Place These lectures explore the religious beliefs and cultic practices of the peoples of the Levant from the Late Bronze Age to the end of the First Temple period in 587 BC, when the Babylonian forces conquer the city of Jerusalem and exile the elites to the city of Babylon. Topics include Canaanite religion, which includes deities like El, Baal, Asherah, Anat, and others, and the process by which Israel emerged as a nation and incorporated these pre-existing religious framework into the (eventually) monotheistic worship of Yawheh.
