The stories of Genesis 1-11 constitute one of the better known
parts of the Old Testament, but their precise meaning and
background still provide many debated questions for the modern
interpreter. In this stimulating, learned and readable collection
of essays, which paves the way for his forthcoming ICC commentary
on these chapters, John Day attempts to provide definitive
solutions to some ofthese questions. Amongst the topics included
are the background and interpretation of the seven-day Priestly
Creation narrative, problems in the interpretation of the Garden of
Eden story, the relation of Cain and the Kenites, the strange
stories of the sons of God and daughters of men and of Noah's
drunkenness and the curse of Canaan, the precise ancient Near
Eastern background of the Flood story and the preceding
genealogies, and the meaning and background of the story of the
tower and city of Babel. Throughout this volume John Day constantly
seeks to determine the original meaning of these stories in the
light of their ancient Near Eastern background, and to determine
how far this original meaning has been obscured by later
interpretations.
