The juxtaposition of 'favour' and 'righteousness' in the flood
narrative raises an interpretative and theological problem: Is Noah
chosen because of divine favour or because of his piety ?
Source-critical scholars identify two different theologies by J and
P: J understands Noah's election to be an act of grace whereas P
emphasizes Noah's righteousness as the basis for his election.
Scholars who interpret the flood narrative according to its final
form argue that Noah is chosen because he is righteous. This view
is problematic, however, since in the primaeval history grace is
shown to the 'undeserving', thus it is characteristically
unmerited. This book entails an exegetical analysis of, and
according to, the final form of the text, with particular attention
being given to the meaning and function of these verses in the
Toledot structure. Kaminski argues against the commonly held view
that Noah finds favour because he is righteous, and seeks to
demonstrate that divine favour is unmerited in accordance with the
theme of grace in the primaeval history and in Genesis as a whole.
Thus what sets the flood story in motion is not Noah's
righteousness, but the divine favour he finds.
