A new book, authored by Dr. Matthew Susnow, RIMS research associate, and titled “The Practice of Canaanite Cult: The Middle and Late Bronze Ages” was recently published by Zaphon. 

This richly illustrated book explores Canaanite religion and ritual from an archaeological perspective. It sheds new light on the use of space within southern Levantine temples as well as the religious ideologies motivating the behavioral patterns identified in those cultic contexts. Religion and ritual are both universalistic and particularistic. The aim of this study is to arrive at a more holistic understanding of MB and LB religion in the southern Levant.
