9780934893763: Astronomy, Papyrus, and Covenant

Synopsis

"Astronomy, Papyrus, and Covenant" is the third volume in the FARMS series and includes papers from a recent conference on the subject. Rather than focus on biblical interpretations of Abraham, each chapter instead explores a lesser-known aspect of Abrahamic studies: his startling visions of the heavens, comparisons between the "Book of Abraham" and other ancient texts, such as the 'Dead Sea Scrolls", and an investigation into shifting interpretations of Abraham throughout nineteenth-century America. The compilation is an excellent introduction to recent scholarship on the subject and will prove to be fascinating reading.
