- Summary:
- "Even in Israel today, female worshippers are forbidden to pray out loud at the sacred Western Wall, whereas male out-loud prayer is promoted. Miriam, sister of Moses, is called a prophet in the Old Testament, but we do not know why; none of her prophecies are included. If the Israelites believed in one indivisible God, why did their homes contain idols of a goddess, named Asherah? In Part 2 of this startling series, John McCarthy investigates the new evidence that Israelites believed for centuries that God had a consort—a “Mrs. God,” as with so many religions born further to the East—and that the Bible was altered to conceal her"-- Heritage Broadcasting Service
