The rise of Monotheism has transformed the world, and at the helm of that transformation is the ancient Near-East deity, YHWH (a.k.a. "Yahweh"). But, how did YHWH, who once was only a minor [warrior & storm] god among many other Canaanite gods, become the ONE AND ONLY God for billions of people on our planet who now practice some form of Abrahamic religion?

In this Golden Video, Dr. James Justin Sledge, PhD who is a renowned professor of religious studies and philosophy sits down with the British intellectual, Alex O'Conner to walk us through the history of that transformation. It's a 1.5 hour-long academic exploration of Judea and Israel's religious journey from primitive Canaanite polytheism to Yahwistic Monotheism, which not only characterized Second Temple (Post Exilic) Judaism, it eventually gave rise to the various forms Judaism, Christianity, and Islam that are still practiced today.
