Description
Before Abraham Was: A New Hypothesis for the Unity of Genesis 1-11 challenges conventional wisdom about the composition of the first eleven chapters of the Book of Genesis. Isaac M. Kikawada and Arthur Quinn argue that these chapters were written by a single author of remarkable skill and subtlety.
By comparing Genesis 1-11 with ancient Near Eastern primeval histories, Kikawada and Quinn make a compelling case for the unity of these chapters. They also demonstrate how they provide a formal structure for other Old Testament histories.
This book is destined to have a lasting impact on biblical scholarship, offering a new perspective on critical biblical studies and a fresh hypothesis for the formation of Genesis. It will be of interest to scholars, clergy, and students seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible's most enigmatic opening chapters.
