Yahweh Unmasked - Volume 1 by David Cangá Corozo is a daring, well-documented exploration that questions one of the most entrenched figures in religious tradition: the God of the Old Testament. Far from a standard theological text, it probes Yahweh's actions, personality, and contradictions through scripture, history, and philosophy. With critical precision, Cangá Corozo examines the Pentateuch, prophetic books, and historical background to reveal a deity often portrayed as violent, deceptive, and self-serving-traits long rationalized or ignored by religious authorities.

Produktbeschreibung
Yahweh Unmasked - Volume 1 by David Cangá Corozo is a daring, well-documented exploration that questions one of the most entrenched figures in religious tradition: the God of the Old Testament. Far from a standard theological text, it probes Yahweh's actions, personality, and contradictions through scripture, history, and philosophy. With critical precision, Cangá Corozo examines the Pentateuch, prophetic books, and historical background to reveal a deity often portrayed as violent, deceptive, and self-serving-traits long rationalized or ignored by religious authorities. Stripping away doctrinal lenses, he invites readers to confront the moral and theological tensions within the biblical narrative. The volume situates Yahweh in the historical evolution of ancient Israel, tracing his rise from tribal god to supreme deity of a chosen people. It examines pivotal moments-the covenant with Abraham, Mosaic law, conquests of Canaan, the monarchy, and the exiles-questioning whether his actions reflect a universal Creator or a partisan, national god. A central theme is the contrast between Yahweh and the "Father" of Jesus in the Gospels. The book highlights how Jesus' message of love, forgiveness, and spiritual freedom diverges from the Old Testament's laws of vengeance and exclusion. Drawing on sources from early Christian history, Cangá Corozo shows this was recognized by figures such as Marcion, the Gnostics, and later rationalist scholars. Beyond theology, the book tracks how Yahweh's image has been instrumentalized over centuries to legitimize authority and power. From early Church councils and the canon's formation, through the Crusades, Inquisition, and Reformation, the author connects Yahweh's legacy to the politics of institutional religion. Written in clear, accessible language, Yahweh Unmasked balances scholarly insight with direct engagement, encouraging readers to think independently about faith and the traditions they inherit. At its heart, the book is not an attack on spirituality but a call for intellectual honesty: to distinguish the ultimate reality of God from the historical figure of Yahweh. By separating the Father of Jesus from the Old Testament deity, Cangá Corozo invites a reimagining of divinity-one aligned with justice, compassion, and reason rather than fear and violence. Controversial yet timely, Yahweh Unmasked - Volume 1 challenges inherited dogmas and aligns with a long tradition of thinkers who dared to question orthodox interpretations. In a world still shaped by religious narratives, it calls for a mature, critical engagement with the texts that have influenced law, morality, and culture for centuries. Whether approached by believers, skeptics, or historians, the book offers a perspective that is as unsettling as it is enlightening-true to its title, it seeks not to destroy, but to unmask.
