Legends of Babylon and Egypt, in Relation to Hebrew Tradition

ISBN: 9781332588077 出版年：2016 页码：166 Leonard W King Forgotten Books

IN these lectures an attempt is made, not so much to restate familiar facts, as to accommodate them to new and supplementary evidence which has been published in America since the out break of the war. But even without the excuse of recent discovery, no apology would be needed for any comparison or contrast of Hebrew tradition with the mythological and legendary beliefs of Babylon and Egypt. Hebrew achievements in the sphere of religion and ethics are only thrown into stronger relief when studied against their contemporary background.
