Legends of Genesis

Hermann Gunkel

Legends of Genesis, written by Hermann Gunkel and translated into English, serves as an introduction to his extensive commentary on the Book of Genesis. Published in the early 20th century, Gunkel employs form criticism to analyze the biblical text, identifying its various genres and exploring the significance of these legends to their authors. He also investigates the sources of the text, proposing theories on how they were combined and redacted over time, ultimately attributing the work to Moses. This book is notable for its pioneering approach to biblical criticism.
