Amazon blurb:
Revealing The Secrets of the Bible's Oldest Stories!
Have you ever wondered where the famous stories of the Bible, like Noah's Ark and Adam and Eve, really came from? In this beautifully illustrated book, you'll discover the fascinating history behind the ancient legends in the book of Genesis.
Professor Hermann Gunkel was a famous scholar who studied these old stories very closely. He found that they weren't all written at the same time - some were passed down for hundreds of years as folktales, while others were more like family histories. And the way the stories are told changes over time, from short and simple to long and detailed.
With helpful annotations and commentary, this book will take you on a journey through the different types of stories in Genesis. You'll learn about:
The influence of other ancient cultures like Mesopotamia and Egypt
How the stories were edited and combined over the centuries
Why these old legends are still important and meaningful today
