You may be interested to read Alyson Von Feldt's long detailed review of Dever's Did God Have a Wife? in the FARMS Review 19/1. Alyson brings her knowledge of Barker's work to the table, and in that light makes some startlingly original observations on some of the artifacts that appear in Dever's book.

It sounds to me like it parallels the scholarship of Margaret Barker-who claims that the religion of the patriarchs worshipped a procreating God who was the Father of Jehovah and all the angels and humans. It makes Mormons go, "hmmmm" for good reason. I highly recommend "The Great Angel, A Study of Israel's Second God" by Barker for additional insight into this fact of biblical history.
