    About this ebook

          A God with No Name is an original take on the history of god and tells the story of his evolution from a lowly Canaanite tribal deity up to his present position as a being of universal power and prestige. The book draws on source material from the Torah, the Ugaritic Baal Cycle and the Book of Enoch, as well as other writings from the ancient world. 

              The book covers the wars among the Elohim which parallel the conflict between the Israelites and the other Canaanite tribes of that region. When the Jewish people are taken captive into Babylon and Persia they begin to expand their knowledge and understanding of the larger cosmos and so to their god, Yahweh, transforms with them, subsuming the powers of the various gods and goddesses they meet in these far-off lands. This book tells the stories of these other deities and places their mythology in the context of the development of the region through successive empires.
     
    ​         The story continues through the birth of Christianity and Islam as Yahweh begins to split into both Jehovah and Allah, then goes on into the middle ages and the period of the reformation when he splits into even more versions of himself. This splitting process eventually fills the world with Yahweh's alter egos, creating this overcrowded marketplace of loosely connected religions we have today.
