Just as patristic religious leaders in late antiquity eviscerated official Jewish religion from its more feministic (and polytheistic) roots, and thus (in Dever’s eyes) stripping away essential characteristics of the monotheistic God

I’m not even wading into this, because it’s a nice afternoon, and the sun is shining, but be careful of identifying a faith or culture as ‘feministic’ merely because it worships feminine deities.
