Informationen zum Autor By Richard James Fischer Klappentext The beginning chapters of Genesis come alive with characters, places, and events almost totally unknown outside of the Bible itself except when illuminated by the fascinating history of the ancient Near East. Did a man we call Adam actually exist? Was someone known to us as Noah warned of a cataclysmic flood and instructed to build an ark? Could the Tower of Babel incident actually have happened? The reader will gain a new appreciation for the historical integrity of Genesis 2-11, and marvel at the evidence that the persons, places, and events depicted, though long misunderstood, could be real. Historical Genesis has a very easy style for a book packed with so much scholarly research...would be fantastic for a religious studies or seminary course on Genesis. -- Jen Cardwell Reader Views Inhaltsverzeichnis Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 A Man Called Adam Chapter 3 A Place in History: Adam and Associates Chapter 4 Locating the Garden of Eden Chapter 5 Original Sin: Just Say No!
