Uncovering the Truth About Moloch

Moloch is history's byword for child sacrifice, and Baal Kadmon's 2023 study asks what the sources actually support. Uncovering the Truth About Moloch: Separating Fact from Fiction begins with the name itself, then works through Molech in the Old and New Testaments, the Septuagint, and the Pseudepigrapha, before re-reading the Old Testament material in two further chapters on the burning and the passing, the Targumim, Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of Sepharvaim, whether Molech is a technical term rather than a god's name, Yahweh and the Tophet, and the enduring myth of Molech. The closing chapters treat Moloch as egregore and Molech the misunderstood, the modern entity built on the ancient evidence. Kadmon's conclusion challenges the standard picture more than it repeats it, which has made the book one of his most discussed studies. Readers of his Antichrist and Watchers volumes will find the same source-first method applied to the tradition's darkest name.
