A comprehensive discussion of texts concerning the goddess Asherah,
as she is portrayed in texts from Ugarit (both epic and ritual
texts, as well as the lists of sacrifices), Israel (the Khirbet
el-Qom and Kuntillet Ajrud inscriptions) and the Old Testament. The
main theses of the book are that two or more divinities carrying
the same name but separated by several hundred years are not
necessarily to be identified; that Asherah is probably not a name,
but rather a title, carried by the main goddess in ancient
Syria-Palestine; that the Asherah of the Old Testament and the
Israelite texts was indeed the consort of Yahweh; and that the
relationship between the text-groups discussed is of a nature that
demands great caution, if one wishes to work comparatively with
them.>
