This book explores the role of the biblical patriarch Abraham in
the formation and use of authoritative texts in the Persian and
Hellenistic periods. It reflects a conference session in 2009
focusing on Abraham as a figure of cultural memory in the
literature of these periods. Cultural memory is the shared
reproduction and recalling of what has been learned and retained.
It also involves transformation and innovation. As a figure of
memory, stories of Abraham served as guidelines for
identity-formation and authoritative illustration of behaviour for
the emerging Jewish communities.
