Echoes of El: The Forgotten Origins of the Biblical God

Echoes of El uncovers a forgotten stratum of the Hebrew Bible-when Yahweh was not yet the singular ruler of heaven, but one deity among a divine assembly. Drawing from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, and the Ugaritic epics, Dr. Erik Gray reveals how the God of Israel emerged from a rich spiritual landscape of councils, rival gods, and cosmic succession.

With clarity and scholarly depth, this book traces Yahweh's ascent from a southern storm god to the Most High. Along the way, readers encounter Baal, Asherah, the Anunnaki, and the divine sons who once walked the heavens. These echoes are not mythic detours-they are the buried architecture of modern faith.
