I was browsing the new products and looked at Canaanite Myths and Legends. I believe it has the wrong description. It calls the book a "striking new contribution to gender studies". I'm not sure that's applicable to the myths of Baal.
Unless the purpose of the book is to examine gender issues in the formation of these myths and legends - which the rest of the description seems to suggest.
[Note: PLEASE, let's NOT discuss the validity of such a project.]

I don't think the sample pages support that conclusion.
The description is word-for-word from this book's page (which it properly applies too): Gender and Law in the Hebrew Bible and the Ancient Near East
I think Logos is copying around their page templates--that same description also appears in a third book: Abraham, Israel and the Nations: The Patriarchal Promise and its Covenantal Development in Genesis
Looks like Logos changed the description(s) of these resources.
Good! I was thinking someone might get confused by the descriptions and decide not to buy because of that.
