Genesis 1-11 is a text that may well have received more attention
than any other in the history of literature. Nevertheless, what do
we know about the personal names that occur in these chapters and
whose influence has permeated all of Western literature? Hess
provides a thorough investigation of the ancient Near Eastern
background of these names and discusses how each played a key role
in adding significance to the stories and genealogies in which they
are found. By studying both the linguistic contexts in the
surrounding cultures and the wordplay in the biblical texts, the
author provides the first comprehensive study of the importance of
these names and traces the implications of his results for the
antiquity and power of the familiar stories in which they appear.
