    Where Biblical Religion Came From.

    A fascinating book. The Ugaritic texts from Ugarit/Ras Shamra and Ras Ibn Hani in the north of Syria of what later became Israel are dated to the 15th to 13th centuries BCE.

    I enjoyed reading your posts in another topic we talked in and thought the book sounds fairly interesting but £111 way out of my league,

    I don't see the bit where he says it's the source of biblical religion.
