This collection contains one book that I find particularly disturbing. It is Russell Gmirkin's Berossus and Genesis, Manetho and Exodus ... I pilloried his view on the ANE=2 list some time back (or was it the old ANE list at the Oriental Institue?). He proposes that these books of the Pentateuch were dependent upon the works of Berossus and Manetho making them date in the late (or is it early?) 3rd century BC. What seems so particularly ludicrous about this date is that the LXX translation would have had to begin almost as soon as the Pentateuch was written. In view of this, I find the book of little actual worth. In the spirit, however, of keeping one's friends close and one's enemies even closer, I might purchase it anyway. At least it has an advantage when purchsing the Logos edition in prepub -- the price of that book alone on Amazon is $168.00 while the entire set is on prepub for $110. If you do happen to subscribe to the set, be forewarned what you will be getting.
