The Case Against the Canaanites

The primary purpose of this book is to show that God

had morally sufficient reasons to destroy the pagan

Canaanite nations. The book exposes the depth and

extent of the hideous religious practices of Israel's

pagan neighbors. The author examines evidence from

the Bible, classical literature, Christian literature, history,

archaeology, and epigraphy. Archaeologists uncovered

the most damning evidence during excavations of high

places and precincts of Baal worship in the Bible lands

and nearby lands of the Ancient Near East, where cults

of the Baals, Tanit, Ashtoreth, and other pagan deities

practiced extensive and prolonged child sacrifice. After

reading this book, the reader will have a substantial

body of facts and reasons to contend for the accuracy

of the Old Testament narratives about child sacrifice.

The reader should also become convinced that if God

had not destroyed the Canaanites, they would have

continued their bloodthirsty practices, without letup.
