It also includes a comprehensive introduction that surveys issues and approaches in the study of Judges.
Описание: "Genesis" is Volume I in the "Anchor Bible" series of new book-by-book translations of the Old and New Testaments and Apocrypha. Ephraim Avigdor Speiser
was University Professor and Chairman of the Department of Oriental Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Using authoritative evidence from archaeology, linguistics, and
comparative religion, the author presents some startling conclusions about the first book of the Bible.
He proves, for example, that the famous opening phrase, 'In the
beginning,' is not true to the meaning of the first word, that the designation 'Torah' for the Pent
teuch is a misnomer, that the best-known stories of "Genesis" are grounded in pagan mythology. Speiser is an iconoclast in the tradition of Abraham; he exposes the false in order to
help achieve truth. As he says in his introduction, he 'is not motivated by mere pedantry...but by the hope that each new insight may bring us that much closer to the secret of the Bible's
universal and enduring appeal'.

Описание: Moses is portrayed through the use of royal motifs, such as his abandonment at birth, flight from Pharaoh, portrayal as a shepherd, as a semi-divine figure, temple builder, military general, and lawgiver. These well-known motifs that have been typically used to depict four famous rulers in the ancient Near East, Hammurabi, Esarhaddon, Nabonidus, and Cyrus, have been adapted by the authors of the Pentateuch to affirm Moses as a more ancient leader, whose work has resulted in the constitution of the community of Israel. As a result, Israel's identity and enduring existence rest upon the authority and legacy of Moses.

Readers may be surprised therefore to find such polemic absent from this early work on the twelve minor prophets of the Old Testament. Cyril appears in this work as a balanced commentator, eclectic in his attitude and tolerant of alternative views.
