DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 1901, this book is a groundbreaking work of biblical scholarship that applies modern methods of literary analysis to the book of Genesis. Gunkel, a German theologian, argues that the stories in Genesis are not historical accounts but rather a collection of myths and legends that evolved over time. He identifies recurrent motifs and themes, analyzes the structure and style of the text, and explores the cultural and religious contexts in which the stories were originally composed. This book is a landmark in the history of biblical criticism and a must-read for anyone interested in the interpretation of the Bible.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKKonrad Schmid is a Swiss biblical scholar who belongs to a larger group of Continental researchers proposing new directions in the study of the Pentateuch. In this volume, a translation of his Erzväter und Exodus, Schmid argues that the ancestor tradition in Genesis and the Moses story in Exodus were two competing traditions of Israel’s origins and were not combined until the time of the Priestly Code—that is, the early Persian period. Schmid interacts with the long tradition of European scholarship on the Hebrew Bible but departs from some of the main tenets of the Documentary Hypothesis: he argues that the pre-Priestly material in both text blocks is literarily and theologically so divergent that their present linkage is more appropriately interpreted as the result of a secondary redaction than as thematic variation stemming from J’s oral prehistory. He dates Genesis–2 Kings to the Persian period and considers it a redactional work that, in its present shape, is a historical introduction to the message of future hope presented in the prophetic corpus of Isaiah-Malachi. Scholars and students alike will be pleased that this translation makes Schmid’s important work readily available in English, both for the contributions made by Schmid and the summary of continental interpretation that he presents. In this edition, some passages have been expanded or modified in order to clarify issues or to engage with more-recent scholarship. The notes and bibliography have also been updated. Dr. Schmid is Professor of Old Testament and Early Judaism at the University of Zürich.
