Reihe: International Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament (IECOT)

This commentary offers a synthesis of close readings of Genesis 1-11 and up-to-date study of the formation of these chapters in their ancient Near Eastern context. Each interpretation of these evocative and multilayered narratives is preceded with a new translation (with textual and philological commentary) and a concise overview of the ways in which each text bears the marks of its shaping over time. This prepares for a close reading that draws on the best of older and newer exegetical insights into these chapters, a reading that then connects to feminist, queer, ecocritical, and other contemporary approaches.

Zielgruppe

Professors and students of biblical and theological studies, Pastors aiming for the broadest available synthesis of recent research, Laypeople interested in theology/religious science/cultural sciences.
