Bible

A letter from Joseph Curwen to Simon Orne, ca. 1750, cited the book of Job, 14:14 [HPL Case (online text)].

Dagon is mentioned in three books of the Bible.

As evidence of the struggle between the Elder Gods and the Great Old Ones, Prof. Laban Shrewsbury cited portions of Joshua 10:11-12: "As they fled from before Israel . . . the Lord cast down great stones upon them in Azekah, and they died. . . . And he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gideon; and thou, Moon, in the Valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed. . . ." Shrewsbury also saw the Bible’s Deluge and other similar legendary catastrophes as evidence of the titanic struggle which resulted in the banishment of Cthulhu to a lost continent. Horvath Blayne saw the Bible’s story of the Deluge as evidence for the existence of Atlantis and Mu. [AWD Island]

The Puritan preacher Gideon Godfrey carried a Bible in his left saddle-pack. Gideon had assiduously studied all Bible references to witches, the servants of Satan. Gideon frequently branished his Bible and a cocked pistol while traveling on his mission to the Satanic village of Roodsford. When Gideon interrupted the sacrifice in Roodsford, he used his Bible as a weighty object to strike the worshippers with, in some cases crushing their skulls with it. [RB Satan]
