I saw a British documentary that stated that God—the Jewish, OUR QUALITY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE Christian, and Muslim God, that is – used to have a female companion, but then male dominance made it impossible to imagine such a powerful female being, and goddesses were no longer worshipped. Did this really happen? —Amalie

Before the Israelite god Yahweh really made it big, a bevy of other deities shared the stage with him, among them a fertility goddess named Asherah. So states theologian Francesca Stavrakopoulou, host of the 2011 BBC series you evidently saw, called “Bible's Buried Secrets”. And that much is roles of all the mid-level gods below, leaving behind largely accepted by historians. Nor is the only bottom-tier deities to function as the top Stavrakopoulou alone in claiming that Yahweh (in god’s servants. And that’s what happened with the some form) and Asherah were at one point an item, Canaanites, says (e.g.) biblical historian K.L.

But I don’t see where she suggests beings remaining in the Old Testament are portrayed that the goddess’s disappearance was the result of a as his messengers—i.e., angels. So yes, the male-centric power play or some resulting failure of goddesses got written out of the story, but most of imagination—as far as we can know, Asherah may the other male gods did too. If female divinity really have been just another victim of the messy shift to was singled out for expungement, it’d be tough to monotheism. prove it. It’s not hard to dream up more sinister theories, And in fact, the Christian God that eventually of course. As discussed here in a 2008 column, for emerged from all this was seen as having more than 150 years scholars have periodically transcended any corporeal attributes, the male- floated the idea that Western societies were, in female divide included. As theology professor millennia past, largely matriarchal, peacefully Andrew Walker told the BBC: “Out of the Holy worshipping a nurturing Mother Goddess, until a Trinity, the three Gods in one, only one is male. . . . warlike patriarchy took over and set up male gods in Jesus Christ, because he was born a man.” Under a her place.
