A HISTORY OF RELIGION, AUTHORITY & ESOTERIC TRANSMISSION
From the ancient religious world of Canaan to modern esoteric movements, conspiracy cultures, and synthetic belief.
From the ancient religious world of Canaan to modern esoteric movements, conspiracy cultures, and synthetic belief, THE CULT OF BAAL traces how religious ideas, symbols, and forms of authority survive, mutate, and reappear across history.
Combining historical depth with rigorous source criticism, the book distinguishes documentation from interpretation, historical continuity from later myth-making, and evidence from speculation across more than three thousand years of religious and esoteric history.
THE METHOD
This is a historical and source-critical investigation. Extraordinary claims are neither accepted nor dismissed merely because they are extraordinary; they are classified according to the evidence available.
Tablets, inscriptions, archaeology, manuscripts and contemporary documents anchor the historical reconstruction.
Similarity is a research lead, not proof. Names, symbols and traditions are followed through date, place, language and transmission.
Competing interpretations remain on the page when the evidence is divided. Speculation is labeled as speculation.
