Arguments over the relationship between Canaanite and Israelite religion often derive
from fundamental differences in presupposition, methodology and definition, yet debate
typically focuses in on details and encourages polarization between opposing views,
inhibiting progress. This volume seeks to initiate a cultural change in scholarly
practice by setting up dialogues between pairs of experts in the field who hold contrasting
views. Each pair discusses a clearly defined issue through the lens of a particular
biblical passage, responding to each other's arguments and offering their reflections
on the process. Topics range from the apparent application of 'chaos' and 'divine
warrior' symbolism to Yahweh in Habakkuk 3, the evidence for 'monotheism' in pre-Exilic
Judah in 2 Kings 22-23, and the possible presence of 'chaos' or creatio ex nihilo
in Genesis 1 and Psalm 74. This approach encourages the recognition of points of agreement
as well as differences and exposes some of the underlying issues that inhibit consensus.
In doing so, it consolidates much that has been achieved in the past, offers fresh
ideas and perspective and, through intense debate, subjects new ideas to thorough
critique and suggests avenues for further research
