Following up on his two recent, widely acclaimed studies of ancient Israelite history and society, William Dever here reconstructs the practice of religion in ancient Israel from the bottom up. Archaeological excavations reveal numerous local and family shrines where sacrifices and other rituals were carried out. Intrigued by this -folk religion- in all its variety and vitality, Dever writes about ordinary people in ancient Israel and their everyday religious lives.Did God Have a Wife? shines new light on the presence and influence of women's cults in early Israel and their implications for our understanding of Israel's official -Book religion.- Dever pays particular attention to the goddess Asherah, reviled by the authors of the Hebrew Bible as a foreign deity but, in the view of many modern scholars, popularly envisioned in early Israel as the consort of biblical Yahweh. His work also gives new prominence to women as the custodians of Israel's folk religion.The first book by an archaeologist on ancient Israelite religion, this fascinating study critically reviews virtually all of the archaeological literature of the past generation, while also bringing fresh evidence to the table. Though Dever digs deep into the past, his discussion is extensively illustrated, unencumbered by footnotes, and vivid with colorful insights. Meant for professional and general audiences alike, Did God Have a Wife? is sure to spur wide and passionate debate.Binding Type: Paperback

Okay
Format: Paperback
I was hoping for a modern day translation of the book of Enoch. This helps to understand it but still not an easy read for the average person.

Must have!
Color: Gold
Best Paper Towel Holder ever! Heavy enough that you can grab a paper towel with one hand without ‘holding’ the holder itself. The spray bottle is icing on the cake. Highly recommend!

Convenient All-in-One Paper Towel Holder with Built-In Spray Bottle
Color: Stainless Steel
This paper towel holder works exactly as advertised and has been a useful addition to my countertop. The built-in spray bottle is especially convenient—it keeps cleaning solution right where you need it, so you can spray and wipe in one quick step without grabbing another bottle.
The one-handed tearing feature works well, and the spring-loaded arm provides just the right amount of resistance to help prevent the roll from unraveling. The weighted base also keeps it stable while pulling sheets, which makes it feel sturdy during use.
The stainless steel design looks nice and feels well made, and overall it seems durable enough for everyday kitchen use.
The only downside is the price, which feels a bit steep compared to basic paper towel holders. However, the added spray function and convenience do add value if you clean frequently.
Overall, it’s a practical and well-designed kitchen accessory that does make everyday cleanup easier.
