Title: Prepare to Die

 

The content of this chapter deals in part with Psalm 82, so some of the bibliography below will be familiar from earlier chapters. I reject the notion that Psalm 82 speaks of the “death of the gods” to bring a belief in polytheism among biblical writers to an end. I don’t believe the biblical writers were polytheists, as noted elsewhere on this website and its sources.
