Professor Albright speaks to a new generation of scholars through this reprint of his classic work contrasting Israelite and Canaanite religions. The five chapters were originally presented as seven lectures, delivered in May 1965, and discuss Poetry and Prose, the Patriarchal Background of Israel's Faith, Canaanite Religion in the Bronze Age, the Struggle between Yahweh and the Gods of Canaan, and the Religious Cultures of Israel and Phoenicia.
