Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intriguing subject of the biblical patriarchs, particularly Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, through the lens of folkloristic and sociological research. The author argues that the lives and stories of these revered figures were shaped by the socio-political context of the ancient Near East and evolved over time to reflect the changing needs and aspirations of the Hebrew people. The book traces the development of the patriarchal narratives from their origins in localized cults and regional traditions to their eventual consolidation into a unified national history under the powerful Judean monarchy of King David. The author uncovers the political and religious tensions that influenced the portrayal of these patriarchs, showing how their stories were adapted to serve the ideological agendas of different groups within ancient Israelite society. Through a meticulous analysis of the biblical texts, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between myth, history, and theology in the formation of the patriarchal tradition. It also examines the enduring legacy of these narratives, their impact on Jewish and Christian thought, and their continued relevance in shaping our understanding of the origins of monotheism and the development of human civilization.
