I've read a lot of the Canaanite myth stories (my favorite, when he shows up, is Sir-adroit-and-cunning of egypt), but hadn't seen the Cross book.

I'm an amateur, but I have a thesis that the Yaweh cult started as a way to subvert the dominate city-god paradigm by taking El away from the Canaanites.

Thanks for replying. Is there literature you can point me to regarding this decline?

Looks good, I ordered a copy and now there's only 11 left.

Also, a question: Was Canaanite religion still active right up until Islam came in the 7th century? Were people still worshiping Ba'al and El and Asherat and so on?
