John Day investigates disputed points of interpretation within
Genesis 1-11, expanding on his earlier book From Creation to Babel
with 11 stimulating essays. Day considers the texts within their
Near Eastern contexts, and pays particular attention to the later
history of interpretation and reception history. Topics covered
include the meaning of the Bible's first verse and what immediately
follows, as well as what it means that humanity is made in the
image of God. Further chapters examine the Garden of Eden, the
background and role of the serpent and the ambiguous role of
Wisdom; the many problems of interpretation in the Cain and Abel
story, as well as what gave rise to this story; how the Covenant
with Noah and the Noachic commandments, though originally separate,
became conflated in some later Jewish thought; and the location of
'Ur of the Chaldaeans', Abraham's alleged place of origin, and how
this was later misinterpreted by Jewish, Christian and Islamic
sources as referring to a 'fiery furnace of the Chaldaeans'. These
chapters, which illuminate the meaning, background and subsequent
interpretation of the Book of Genesis, pave the way for Day's
forthcoming ICC commentary on Genesis 1-11.
