Baal is the second deity mentioned after YHWH in the Old Testament. This Semitic god has often been in conflict with YHWH in the Old Testament. Most of the time, the Hebrew Bible mentioned only Baal. Therefore, there are many kinds of Baal (Baal Haddad, Baal Melqart, Baal Shamin). In the Ordeal of the Biblical Mount Carmel in 1 Kings 18, YHWH and Baal were invited to prove their power, and send fire which was to come to devour (holacaust) the pieces of bull placed on the altar. The loser in this contest would be the impostor deity. Which Baal among three (Baal Haddad, Baal Melqart, Baal Shamin) was the competitor of YHWH on Mount Carmel? There are three assumptions.In this Ph.D Thesis, Samson N'Taadjèl KAGMATCHÉ, undertakes this work using the HB and the LXX (biblical data) to understand the text of 1Kings 18 and know the Baal invoked in this text. The extra-biblical data studies are: (iconographies, epigraphs, Akkadian, and Ugarit sources). He Study the nature and functions of each deity (Baal Shamin, Baal Haddad, and Baal-Melqart). He highlights all assumptions and arguments with their strengths and weaknesses. About the Baal of the Mount Carmel, the competitor of YHWH, this research shows external evidences, the historical context, and internal evidences and also the Ordeal elements of the Biblical Mount Carmel, (1 Kgs 18:1-46). He summarizes that finally, some evidence of Baal Melqart and some details in 1Kings 18 make a case for the Master of Tyre (Baal Melqart).

Dans le christianisme contemporain, et surtout dans les enseignements et prédications bibliques, la démonologie et le diable prennent plus d'importance au point que Jésus-Christ semble être relégué au second rang. Loin de cet univers de la démonologie et des esprits, l'auteur choisit au contraire, le côté réaliste et étudie certains personnages de la Bible qui se sont comportés comme ennemis ou adversaires. On peut citer: Jambrès et Jannès, les deux magiciens de la cour de Pharaon qui s'opposèrent à Moïse (Ex. 7:11, 22; 2Tim. 3:8) et dans la restauration des murailles de la ville de Jérusalem, Néhémie qui fera face à plusieurs ennemis dont les plus teigneux seront: Tobija, Sanballat, et Guéschem l'arabe.Qui étaient donc les adversaires de l'apôtre Paul dans l'épître aux Galates, et Alexandre le forgeron qui fit tant de mal à l'apôtre Paul (2Tim. 4:14)? Enfin, qui était donc Diotrèphe (3Jn. 9-15) ? Tous ces personnages bibliques se sont-ils comportés comme ennemis ou adversaires ? Quels furent leurs actes et comportements ?Ce livre nous fait un décryptage de chaque personnage et de ses oeuvres. A travers cette oeuvre, l'auteur nous invite à une prise de conscience afin qu'on ne prenne pas ces personnages comme étant d'une époque très éloignée de nous. Mais au contraire, de considérer leurs vécus et faits comme d'actualité et que chaque personnage étudié nous amène à tirer des leçons pratiques pour une bonne conduite sociale.
