 Here is #8 in the Nibley series of podcasts. I discuss the ancient patterns of myth, ritual, and drama as they apply to the Book of Abraham Facsimile #3, as Nibley discussed in his book Abraham in Egypt, and as Theodore Gaster discussed in his book Thespis: Ritual, Myth and Drama in the Ancient Near East, Gordian Press, 1975.

 I also discuss and elucidate three important studies of El and Yahweh; R. Scott Chalmers, "Who is the Real El? A Reconstruction of the Prophet's Polemic in Hosea 12:5a," 

Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 2006: 611-630; John Pairman Brown, "Yahweh, Zeus, Jupiter: The High God and the Elements," in Zeitschrift fur Alttestamente Wissenschaft, (ZAW): 1994, #2: 175-197; Paul E. Dion, "YHWH as Storm-god and Sun-god, The Double Legacy of Egypt and Canaan as Reflected in Psalm 104," Zeitschrift fur Alttestamente Wissenschaft, (ZAW): 1991, #1: 43-71.
