Publisher's Synopsis
The papers in this volume, read at the 1993 meeting of the Tyndale Fellowship Old Testament Study Group in Cambridge, reflect the ethos of Tyndale House: to further appreciation of the Bible as both an outstanding ancient text and inspired divine revelation. Genesis 12-50 is both placed within its Near Eastern context (providing a helpful antidote to some of the extreme skepticism with which these chapters have at times been discussed) and viewed in theological terms in order to demonstrate its influence on the unfolding biblical drama in both Old and New Testaments.
