Description
The God We Cannot See: Why There Is God by Sam Oputa explores an intriguing idea - that polytheism existed before monotheism. The author suggests that ancient Egypt had a pantheon of gods, which was later influenced by the Hebrews. This concept is supported by biblical texts, including the Old Testament. The book delves into the history of these gods and their leaders, such as El, who was considered the chief deity in Ugarit. Oputa argues that the Hebrews adopted or were forced to adopt certain ideas from the Canaanite pantheon, leading to their own form of monotheism. The author examines various biblical references to support this claim. By examining the origins of monotheism and its relationship with polytheism, Oputa sheds light on a fascinating aspect of religious history. This thought-provoking book invites readers to consider the evolution of belief systems and the role of gods in human culture.
