Whether religious or atheist, most Western people have a picture and a sense of the character of God: white robe, white beard, white man. John Hamer of Toronto Centre Place will trace the origin of this image and consider how it may differ from the way people envisioned God in Biblical times.

A Q&A and discussion will follow the presentation. Please send your questions on the live chat.

Lecture topics include:

Depictions of God
Canaanite religion
First Temple Judaism
Second Temple Judaism
El, Baal, Yahweh, Zeus, Marduk, Enlil, Enki
Iconoclasm
