About this title

Synopsis

This book investigates the literary framework of the book of Genesis, including its structure, contributing sources, and themes. It explores how scholars since the 19th century have argued that certain passages within Genesis were written by different authors, and how these passages have been combined into the text we know today. The book also examines the larger historical context surrounding Genesis, drawing on findings from archeology, textual criticism, and biblical studies. A key theme throughout the book is the different names used for God within Genesis, and how these names reflect different theological ideas about God's nature and relationship with humanity. The book concludes by discussing the significance of Genesis as a foundational text for Judaism and Christianity, and its ongoing influence on religious thought and practice.
