Genesis And Semitic Tradition (1894)

""Genesis And Semitic Tradition"" is a book written by John D. Davis and published in 1894. The book explores the connections between the book of Genesis in the Bible and the traditions of the Semitic people, including the Babylonians, Assyrians, and Canaanites. Davis examines the similarities and differences between these traditions and the stories found in Genesis, such as the creation story, the flood, and the story of Abraham. He also looks at the historical and cultural context in which these stories were written and how they might have been influenced by the beliefs and practices of the Semitic peoples. The book is a scholarly work that provides insights into the origins and development of some of the most important stories in the Bible, as well as the broader cultural and religious traditions of the ancient Near East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
