I am currently working with my PhD project under a title “Conceptualization of Divinity: Forming of Storm-God Imagery in Ugaritic Mythology and in the Hebrew Bible in the Light of Cognitive Science of Religion”. It is a multi-diciplinary approach that combines Ugaritic and Old Testament Studies with theories from the field of Cognitive Science of Religion. I am asking, why certain Storm-God imagery of so called Canaanite Religion has been so cognitively appealing that it has been taken along when the monotheistic cult around Yahweh, the God of Israel was constructed.
