IMPORTANT: Throughout this blog, when referencing the Bible, I will be using the English Standard Version (ESV) unless otherwise indicated. I am in no way supported by, or affiliated with, any of the sources, resources, or references used throughout this blog—that includes PARTS 1-3 and the ADDITIONAL NOTES section.
In 2016, I decided to pursue a personal study of ancient Near East religions. Afterwards, people started approaching me with questions about this topic—with an emphasis on Christianity. These questions have persisted into the present timeframe, which is why I’ve decided to assemble a written summary of my findings for anyone interested. At the moment, this summary consists of 3 parts with an additional notes section at the end.
Use the links below to navigate through the different sections.
