Beschreibung

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 religions
  • Responds to the tendency within Old Testament studies to emphasize radical continuity between the Old Testament and ancient pagan mythology
  • Contains a helpful overview of the history of ancient Near Eastern studies
