Mighty Baal: Essays in Honor of Mark S. Smith is the first edited
collection devoted to the study of the ancient Near Eastern god
Baal. Although the Bible depicts Baal as powerless, the combined
archaeological, iconographic, and literary evidence makes it clear
that Baal was worshipped throughout the Levant as a god whose
powers rivalled any deity. Mighty Baal brings together eleven
essays written by scholars working in North America, Europe, and
Israel. Essays in part one focus on the main collection of Ugaritic
tablets describing Baal's exploits, the Baal Cycle. Essays in part
two treat Baal's relationships to other deities. Together, the
essays offer a rich portrait of Baal and his cult from a variety of
methodological perspectives. The Harvard Semitic Studies series
publishes volumes from the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East.
Other series offered by Brill that publish volumes from the Museum
include Studies in the Archaeology and History of the Levant and
Harvard Semitic Monographs, https://hmane.harvard.edu/publications.
