The Hebrew goddess
Raphael Patai (Author), William G. Dever
"The Hebrew Goddess demonstrates that the Jewish religion, far from being pure monotheism, contained from earliest times strong polytheistic elements, chief of which was the cult of the mother goddess. Lucidly written and richly illustrated, this third edition contains new chapters of the Shekhina. Raphael Patai is an internationally known anthropologist, Orientalist, and biblical scholar. He has written over six hundred articles and thirty-five books, including On Jewish Folklore, The Myth of the Jewish Race and The Messiah Texts"--Publisher description
