Endnote 26 – Folk Religion in Early Israel: Did Yahweh Have a Consort?

The literature on monotheism in ancient Israel is vast. For a recent treatment with bibliography, see Ackerman, Under Every Green Tree; see also Bernhard Lang, Monotheism and the Prophetic Minority (Sheffield, UK: Sheffield Academic Press, 1983); and Mark S. Smith, The Early History of God: Yahweh and the Other Deities in Ancient Israel (San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1990).
