Description

Genesis 1-11 offers a unique perspective on the ancient world. By introducing an all-powerful, all-knowing God whose greatest concern is human welfare, this document revolutionizes our understanding of history. The stories within provide theological spectacles for a sympathetic reading of the Bible and can help modern believers construct a worldview that integrates science and Christian theology. In this book, Gordon Wenham skillfully explores the creation narratives and the account of the flood, comparing them to relevant ancient Near Eastern traditions. This focus allows him to concentrate on the main features of these narratives and their abiding value for the whole biblical canon. Wenham's work provides an impressive statement of the message and significance of Genesis 1-11, a document that has shaped the biblical canon.
