He finds that the Storm-god was the force primarily responsible for three major areas of human concern: (1) religious power because he was the ever-dominant environmental force upon which peoples depended for their very lives; (2) centralized political power; and (3) continuously evolving sociocultural processes, which typically were projected through the Storm-god's attendants. Green traces these motifs through the Mesopotamian, Anatolian, Syrian, and Levantine regions; with regard to the latter, he argues that Yahweh of the Bible can be identified as a storm-god, though certain unique characteristics came to be associated with him: he was the Creator of all that is created and the self-existing god who needs no other.Biblical and Judaic studies ;v. 8.WindgottgndWettergottAlter OrientidszbzWettergottOrient (alter)idsbbWindgottOrient (alter)idsbbStorm godsfast(OCoLC)fst01134087Religionfast(OCoLC)fst01093763Gods, Semiticfast(OCoLC)fst00944303Storm godsMiddle EastGods, SemiticNaher OstengndAlter OrientWettergottidszbzMiddle EastfastMiddle EastReligionWindgottWettergottWettergottWindgottStorm gods.Religion.Gods, Semitic.Storm godsGods, Semitic.291.2/11/09394Green Alberto Ravinell Whitney688979MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910819896603321Storm-god in the ancient Near East1234501UNINA
