Prologue to History: The Yahwist As Historian in Genesis

By John Van Seters

Book Overview

This remarkable study . . . makes a momentous case for a different view: in its pre-sacerdotal (or first) written form, the book of Genesis represents the prologue to a major literary work conceived and crafted by an individual writer who lived in the exilic/postexilic times of the early Persian era.--Albert de Pury, University of Geneva, Switzerland.
