Challenging the Beast, Challenging Empire

By Tamás Czövek

- Default Title
Description
The relationship of Primeval History to the ancient Near Eastern world has long been the subject of academic interest. In this unique study, Dr. Tamás Czövek offers a new perspectiveon Genesis 1-11 through the previously unexamined lens of kingship, city, and cult. Utilizing a comprehensive, comparative exegesis of the Primeval History with Mesopotamian literature, Dr. Czövek compellingly argues for a reading of Primeval History as a counter-narrative to that of Babylon - one that criticizes Babylon's hierarchical society, imperial politics, and culture - and illuminates the way Primeval History subverts shared themes to tell a new story of the image of God in humanity. Biblical scholars will be enriched and challenged in this timely work, bringing deep-rooted insights from these ancient communities into relevance for today.
