The Ugaritic Baal Cycle offers a translation and the first commentary on the Ugaritic Baal Cycle. The longest and most important religious text from ancient Ugarit, the Baal Cycle witnesses to both the religious worldview of Ugarit and the larger background to many of the formative religious concepts and images in the Bible. The volume treats introductory matters such as date, order and continuity of the tablets, the history of interpretation, and finally a new proposal for the interpretation of text drawing on the insights of previous views as well as newer evidence. The commentary proper provides bibliography, text, textual notes, literary structure and detailed commentary for each column in the first two tablets.

According to the Bible, ancient Israel's neighbors worshipped a wide variety of gods. In recent years, scholars have sought a better understanding of this early polytheistic milieu and its relation to Yahweh, the God of Israel. Drawing on ancient Ugaritic texts and looking closely at Ugaritic deities, Mark Smith examines the meaning of "divinity" in the ancient near East and considers how this concept applies to Yahweh.

When powerful extraterrestrial beings establish life on Zera2, little do they know that they’re guiding the extraordinary birth of the Jewish nation. Journey through the ages of a nation destined to outlive all others, as advanced technology interfaces with the distant past in this biblical fantasy. MM26, an extraterrestrial supreme being, analogous to God, forges the path taken by the Sons of Jacob to become an immortal nation—one that plays an integral role in the development of civilization on Zera2. Time Before the Past opens the reader’s mind to unorthodox and fantastic interpretations of the Pentateuch and unproven explanations of some of the world's mysteries. No matter how you spin it, the path and the destination remain the same. If we are created in His image, maybe the divine powers reside within the collective “us.”
