The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book. The march of history has seen remarkable changes in mens attitude to the early narratives of Genesis. For centuries these were regarded by the whole Christian world as the authentic record of the origin of the world and man, and the beginnings of human history. In the present age, the tendency is to the opposite extreme. The supposed scientific shortcomings of the book which was once placed on so high a pinnacle of authority, have led many seekers after truth to cast it contemptuously aside, as absolutely valueless for both science and religion. The discovery in these chapters of elements common to Israel with other nations has even made them, in certain recent controversies, the principal batteryground for an assault on the whole idea of Revelation. The present thesis is an attempt to estimate the value of the narratives afresh in the light of modern research. It aims, in the first instance, at ascertaining, in objective, scientific fashion, their real character and significance. The author will here be found to move in harmony with the main trend of recent scholarship. But even while following the beaten track, he has worked out his results by independent study of the original documents, and in various directions has endeavoured to define the issues more precisely, hoping thus to shed light on problems that still await solution.
