Apostolic exhortation “Evangelii Gaudium” written by pope Francis, calling to proclaim the Gospel in today’s world, starts from calling to experiencing the joy of meeting Jesus Christ. The sadness coming from the forgetfulness and comfort may cause neutralisation and loss of sensitivity. The attempt of reforming The New Evangelism undertook by pope Francis, seems to resemble the attempts of religious reform executed by king Josiah and started with the finding of the forgotten Book of the Law. The joy of reading and the way of reading the unread Book, resulted in passing the Book from hand to hand and liturgical communalreading, starting the process of departure from baalisation of YHWH, process of cleansing the cult of The Only One. Pope Francis proposes exactly that way of reading the Word, whichcharacterises the readiness to be hurt. The deep experience of meting with the Word of God, gives us the possibility to return to the memory about the Word’s first place and unity YHWHin the life of the believer, being the foundations of missionary community of the Church, caring with respect for every human being.

In this paper we would like to investigate the historicity of Nergal of Cuth in the context of Mesopotamian literature and religion. The deity Nergal of Cuth appears only once in the Hebrew Bible (2 Kings 17:30). He is mentioned among a list of some Assyrian gods, which new repopulated settlers in Samaria “made” for themselves after the fall of the Northern Kingdom. He is mainly perceived as a god of war and pestilence and his name can be explained “the lord of the netherworld”. His cult is mentioned in a prosaic way in the Hebrew Bible. On the other hand, there are many hymns and written texts, praising his glory and might, which support the existing cult of Nergal. His cult is further attested in Greek and Roman cultures.
