I sent him my material on divine plurality (which has since been published in the Bulletin of Biblical Research under the title, "Monotheism, Polytheism, Monolatry, or Henotheism? Toward an Assessment of Divine Plurality in the Hebrew Bible"). He was quite grateful, since the OT material is well out of his area of expertise. That said, I told him I thought his chapter on the divine council was a nice overview, and told him I was glad to see an evangelical publisher (IVP) put it out there. The rest of the book has little to do directly with the divine council; it really serves as backdrop to how the church fathers viewed the "light" of truth as present or absent in pagan religion. Incidentally, IVP has also recently published another work with the DC in it. Their latest dictionary (Poetic and Wisdom Literature) has a wonderful article on the divine council (by yours truly :-)). @Tim Wood: Prof. McDermott and I actually corresponded a few times after his book appeared.
