The first seven chapters and Introduction constitute perhaps the most scholarly and complete study of the Divine Feminine in Ancient Mesopotamia. Rarely is such a blend of Assyriology, Biblical and feminist scholarship so masterly put together, remarkable for its vigor and conviction, a classic in all aspects.
By analysing the Divine Feminine in Mesopotamia, Frymer-Kensky shows the marginalization of goddesses, and how the Judeo-Christian religion ended up finally embraced a view where the Divine Feminine disappeared to give way to the eternal bond between the Father and the Son.

I highly recommend this book, and sincerely believe it is a classic difficult to be replaced for many years to come.
