Theologians are very much aware of the notions that swirled around Phoenicia. My point is this: that you would think they have any relationship to the Jesus movement indicates that you misunderstand just how different the Phoenician ideas and the Jesus movement ideas are.

1. As a Unitarian Universalist, I am very used to hearing this accusation. And I’m certainly not surprised to hear it here on a BioLogos board.

2. I think you overestimate what Theologians know. Naturally some theologians know about these ideas of Divinization. But which Christian theologian could you nominate that you think would be familiar with these ideas - - in relation to Phoenician theology?
