Thunder Gods and the God Who Thundered

Fr. Stephen De Young and Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick explore thunder gods like Baal, Zeus, and Thor in ancient cultures. They discuss the clash between worship of Yahweh and Baal, the evolution of Zeus and Jupiter in Greek mythology, the significance of Thor in Norse culture, and the adaptation of pagan symbols by early Christians. The hosts also delve into the evolution of Yahweh from a storm god to the supreme deity in Hebrew scriptures, challenging assumptions about monotheism and polytheism.
