Chapters 12-50 of the book of Genesis may be considered as
enshrining the patriarchal traditions of the Jewish people. Besides
the elements of poetry and legend embodied in these traditions,
Professor Davidson shows that there can be a historical basis for
the narratives and offers guidelines for exploring it. The Genesis
stories cannot simply be seen as a reading back into earlier times
of the background to the social customs and religious outlook of
their later editors. Introductory sections deal with the sources,
historicity and general characteristics of the narratives, and are
followed by a section-by-section presentation of the text with
commentary in the established style of the series.
