A Spiritual Strategy for Counseling and Psychotherapy Book

I read this book to get more background on the Canaanite gods which appear in the Old Testament: El, Baal, Asherah, Ashtoreth, Dagon, Molech etc. The book is exhaustively researched, and has a lot of interesting information on these gods, derived primarily from the finds at Ugarit. Day's conclusions on the exact nature of the Asherim cult object were especially interesting; it made me wonder whether the Asherim survived in later Judaism in subliminal forms like the Menorah and the Tree of Life (in Kabbalah). Other intriguing topics were Biblical references to the Canaanite pantheon on Mt. Zaphon, and to the chaoskampf battle between Baal and the chaos monster Yam, which became a battle between Yahweh and Leviathan in the Bible.
Although certainly worth reading, this probably isn't the best book for the general reader. It is extremely scholarly, and spends a lot of time on close linguistic analysis of Semitic word forms. Day also examines all competing hypotheses on each question, and this ends up being tedious because most of the hypotheses are rejected.
Nevertheless, I got what I wanted from this book: a much clearer understanding of the "other" gods in the Bible.
