Part 1 - Othniel Margalith - "The Riddle of Genesis 14 and Melchizedek." Othniel Margalith offers a simplistic answer to the identity of Melchizedek. He states that Melchizedek was possibly a local priest of a local deity who welcomed a returning hero. However, he was “not a king, and not of Jerusalem, contrary to this widely accepted identification.” Margalith argues that name Melchizedek is a name constructed from Ugaritic divinities Melech and Zedek.

In the Beginning, God The first lesson from the Book of Genesis is that from the beginning, actually before the beginning, there was only God (Gen 1:1; John 1:1-2). Theologian and author R.C.
