Description

Book Synopsis
This re-examination of "Genesis" 1-11 is based on a strongly positive evaluation of the "Septuagint" as a reliable witness to the original Hebrew. The author presents evidence and gives his analysis as the first step towards an eclectic critical edition of the books of the Hebrew Bible.

Trade Review
Hendel lucidly and sharply discusses general principles of textual criticism, in dialogue with the specialists, and applies these principles to the establishing of an 'eclectic' critical text of Genesis 1-11. There are many delightful nuggets. In many ways the book is a model which students learning textual criticism could profitably work with. * R.W.L. Moberly, Journal of Theological Studies, Vol.51 No.1 *
