Genesis And Semitic Tradition (1894)

Beschreibung

Genesis and Semitic Tradition is a book written by John D. Davis and published in 1894. The book is a study of the first book of the Bible, Genesis, and its relationship to the Semitic tradition. Davis explores the historical and cultural context of Genesis and its connections to other Semitic texts, such as the Babylonian creation myth and the Epic of Gilgamesh. The author also examines the literary style and structure of Genesis, as well as the theological themes and messages within the text. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of Genesis and its place within the wider Semitic tradition, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of biblical studies and ancient Near Eastern literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
