Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Genesis Printed in Colors: Showing the Original Sources From Which It Is Supposed to Have Been Compiled, With an Introduction
Modern critical research into the sources and character of the ancient scriptures Of the Hebrews leaves no reasonable doubt that the Book Of Gen esis, which was used as an introduction to the old Jewish law, is a composite production made up largely of myths and fragments of myths em bodying the conceptions of the earliest writers of Israel, regarding the relations of that people to their deity. Study of it in this aspect gives it a new interest and significance, while persist ence in the Old view Of its origin and meaning is in danger of sinking it from reverence to de rision.
