Maybe a little too brief

It was a good synopsis. I’m going to find something else to dive a little deeper. I can’t speak to the accuracy of the information as I’m not an ancient near East scholar, but I can say that the information presented for Judaism and the worship of YHWH is not accurate, and does not take the testimony of the Old Testament into account.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
