AB A parallel to sentences such as those in Ps 29:11a or 68:36aβ has been found in a recently discovered Phoenician inscription from Cyprus (4th century B.C.). The role of YHWH as a rescuer in war and thus in history has a model in similar activities of the gods of rain and thunderstorms, such as for example Baal. After dealing with these subjects, the author of this article takes a look at the problems surrounding the history-oriented religion of ancient Israel in the context of modern anthropology and epistemology.
