Canaanite Myth and Hebrew Epic: Essays in the History of the Religion of Israel
Cross's classic work is...an essential element in the armory of any serious biblical scholar...If you haven't got it, get it! It is profound, definitive, and wonderfully readable. (J. Harold EllensJournal of Psychology and Christianity)The essays in this study are all written with the complementary breadth of scope and attention to detail characteristic of Cross; each one is stimulating and several are a mine of information beyond the confines of the essay's topic. (Bezalel PortenJournal of the American Academy of Religion)Deserves to be read carefully and to be digested slowly...[This] book is full of fertile and productive theories. (P. Wernberg-MollerJournal of Jewish Studies)
