Beskrivning

Did the Old Testament writers borrow ideas from their pagan neighbors? And if they did, was it done uncritically? A respected Old Testament scholar and archaeologist engages with this controversial question by carefully comparing the biblical text to other ancient Near Eastern documents. Well-researched and thoughtfully nuanced, Currid aims to outline the precise relationship between the biblical worldview and that of Israel’s neighbors. Written by a distinguished Old Testament scholar and Egyptologist with many years of experience studying ancient Near Eastern religionsResponds to the tendency within Old Testament studies to emphasize radical continuity between the Old Testament and ancient pagan mythologyContains a helpful overview of the history of ancient Near Eastern studies
