"Mighty Baal: Essays in Honor of Mark S. Smith is the first edited collection devoted
to the study of the ancient Near Eastern god Baal. Although the Bible depicts Baal
as powerless, the combined archaeological, iconographic, and literary evidence makes
it clear that Baal was worshipped throughout the Levant as a god whose powers rivalled
any deity. Mighty Baal brings together eleven essays written by scholars working in
North America, Europe, and Israel. Essays in part one focus on the main collection
of Ugaritic tablets describing Baal's exploits, the Baal Cycle. Essays in part two
treat Baal's relationships to other deities. Together, the essays offer a rich portrait
of Baal and his cult from a variety of methodological perspectives"
