Eisenbrauns Studies on Genesis (3 vols.)
Overview
The narratives of Genesis have yielded as much controversy as any book of the Bible, narrating the world’s beginnings and the origin of the nation of Israel. These three volumes provide cutting-edge linguistic, historical, and textual research on Genesis that will enrich any sermon series or course of lectures on the first book of the Pentateuch. In Creation and Destruction, David Tsumura argues that the linguistic patterns Genesis 1 and 2 are completely distinct from other ancient Near Eastern mythological literature. Then, in Joseph: A Story of Divine Providence, renowned linguist Robert E. Longacre presents an accessible study of why and how we should study ancient texts. And finally, in The Redaction of Genesis, Gary Rendsburg demonstrates how the poetic structure of Genesis unites the entire book and contributes to its meaning.

Dr. Rendsburg's, 'The Redaction of Genesis' (1986) is a study of the structure of Genesis complemented by David Dorsey's, more recent, 'The Literary Structure of the Old Testament'. The observations within its pages could only have been observed by one obviously enamored by the word's of the Lord.
