Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Traditions of Genesis The march of history has seen remarkable changes in men's attitude to the early narratives of Genesis. For centuries these were regarded by the whole Christian world as the authentic record of the origin of the world and man, and the beginnings of human history. In the present age, the tendency is to the opposite extreme. The supposed scientific shortcomings of the book which was once placed on so high a pinnacle of authority, have led many seekers after truth to cast it contemptuously aside, as absolutely valueless for both science and religion. The discovery in these chapters of elements common to Israel with other nations has even made them, in certain recent controversies, the principal battery-ground for an assault on the whole idea of Revelation. The present thesis is an attempt to estimate the value of the narratives afresh in the light of modern research. It aims, in the first instance, at ascertaining, in objective, scientific fashion, their real character and significance. The author will here be found to move in harmony with the main trend of recent scholarship. But even while following the beaten track, he has worked out his results by independent study of the original documents, and in various directions has endeavoured to define the issues more precisely, hoping thus to shed light on problems that still await solution.

Download or read book The Origin Tradition of Ancient Israel written by Linda Thompson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1987-11-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than three decades, Thomas L. Thompson has written at the intersection of biblical theology and archaeology. Origin Tradition of Ancient asks important questions about historicity in general and Israel's history in particular-including, perhaps most importantly, at what point Israel's history begins. After surveying the recent literature on the subject, Thompson closely examines the Pentateuchal tradition as a narrative of Israel's history, and offers detailed exegesis of the historical narratives in Genesis and Exodus, including Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and the sojourn in the wilderness. He closes with a discussion of chronology and historiography.

Book excerpt: The Exegetical Encounter between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity is a collection of essays examining the relationship between Jewish and Christian biblical commentators.

In bringing together the studies of a variety of eminent scholars on the topic of Exegetical Encounter , the book presents the latest research on the topic and illuminates a variety of original approaches to analysis of exegetical contacts between the two sets of religious groups.

Download or read book Genesis History Fiction or Neither written by James K. Hoffmeier and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of the Genesis narrative has sparked much debate among Christians. This book introduces three predominant interpretive genres and their implications for biblical understanding. Each contributor identifies their position on the genre or genres of Genesis, chapters 1-11, addresses why their interpretation is respectful of and appropriate to the text, and contributes examples of its application to a variety of passages. The positions include: Theological History(Genesis can be taken seriously as both history and theology) – defended by James K. Hoffmeier. Proto-History (the early Genesis narratives consist of a variety of literary genres; which, nonetheless, do not obscure the book's theological teaching) – defended by Gordon J. Wenham. Ancient Historiography (an understanding of Genesis that seeks to reconcile the limitations of its human authors with the nature of it being the Word of God) defended by Kenton L. Sparks. General editor and Old Testament scholar Charles Halton explains the importance of genre and provides historical insight in the introduction and helpful summaries of each position in the conclusion. In the reader-friendly Counterpoints format, this book helps readers to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed conclusions in this much-debated topic.
