Publisher's Synopsis
The Genesis of Genesis is a scholarly work by Benjamin Wisner Bacon, first published in 1891. The book is a comprehensive study of the first book of Moses, Genesis, and its documentary sources, in accordance with the findings of critical science. Bacon analyzes the text of Genesis and identifies four distinct sources, which he labels J, E, P, and D. These sources are believed to have been written at different times and by different authors, and Bacon examines their style, language, and content to determine their origins and meanings. The book also delves into the historical and cultural context in which Genesis was written, including the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Hebrews. Bacon's analysis is based on a thorough understanding of the Hebrew language and the literary conventions of the time, as well as on the work of other scholars in the field. The Genesis of Genesis is an important work in the field of biblical studies, and its findings have influenced subsequent scholarship on the book of Genesis. The book is written in a scholarly style and assumes a certain level of knowledge of biblical history and interpretation. It is recommended for students and scholars of biblical studies, as well as for anyone interested in the origins and meaning of the book of Genesis.Illustrating The Presence Of Bibles Within The Bible, With An Introduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
