Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

These discussions are the outgrowth of The Reinicker Lectures for the year 1908, delivered at the Protestant Episcopal Theological Seminary, A lexandria, Virginia. Instead of publishing the lectures as delivered, which covered the subject, Recent Discoveries in Bible Lands, it seemed preferable to present a special phase of the subject, which is here treated more fully than in the lectures. In the authors work, Light on the Old Testament from Babel, a protest was expressed against the claims of the Pan-B abylonists that Babylonia had extensively influenced the culture of I srael. Continued researches have opened up new vistas of the subject, which confirm the contention that the Pan-B abylonists have not only greatly overestimated the influence of the Babylonian culture upon I srael, but that the Semitic Babylonians came from the land of A murru; that is, Syria and Palestine, and that their culture was an amalgamation of what was once Amorite or West Semitic and the Sumerian which they found in the Euphrates valley. In order to make the main outlines of the subject as well as the discussions which bear directly upon the Old Testament more readable, the technical material has been confined largely to Part II, but frequent references to it are made in Part

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of Semitic culture, specifically focusing on the relationship between ancient Babylonia and the region known as Amurru, encompassing present-day Syria and Palestine. The author challenges the widely held belief that Babylonian culture heavily influenced the development of civilization in the West. Instead, they argue that the flow of cultural influence was reversed, with the Semitic Babylonians migrating eastward from Amurru, bringing with them their religious traditions, including creation stories, antediluvian patriarchs, and the deluge legend. The book examines the evidence from cuneiform inscriptions and West Semitic texts to demonstrate that Amurru possessed a thriving civilization before it came under Babylonian influence. The author further explores the role of Egyptian influence in the region, arguing that it was as significant as that of Babylonia, and possibly even more prominent. The book delves into the thematic depths of the Creation story in Genesis, offering a fresh perspective on its origins and challenging the prevalent theory that it was directly derived from Babylonian mythology. By comparing the biblical narrative to Sumerian and other ancient Mesopotamian texts, the author reveals that the key elements of the Creation story were likely shared across a wider region and existed before the rise of Marduk as the dominant deity in Babylonian mythology. This book offers a groundbreaking reinterpretation of ancient Semitic history and cultural exchange, revealing the complex interplay between Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the region of Amurru. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
