The statement “The god of Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy and Joshua is best understood as the family god of Abraham and his lineal descendants.” is better understood to be a factual statement than the alternative. This is due to the relationship God has with the Abrahamic family in these books and what the definition of “family god” makes the most sense of being.
