Plato’s Timaeus and the Biblical Creation Accounts: Cosmic Monotheism and Terrestrial Polytheism in the Primordial History: Copenhagen International Seminar
Autor Russell E. Gmirkinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 ian 2024
This book is the first to systematically compare biblical, Ancient Near Eastern and Greek creation accounts and to show that Genesis 1-3 is heavily indebted to Plato’s Timaeus and other cosmogonies by Greek natural philosophers. It argues that the idea of a monotheistic cosmic god was first introduced in Genesis 1 under the influence of Plato’s philosophy, and that this cosmic Creator was originally distinct from the lesser terrestrial gods, including Yahweh, who appear elsewhere in Genesis. It shows the use of Plato’s Critias, the sequel to Timaeus, in the stories about the Garden of Eden, the intermarriage of "the sons of God" and the daughters of men, and the biblical flood. This book confirms the late date and Hellenistic background of Genesis 1-11, drawing on Plato’s writings and other Greek sources found at the Great Library of Alexandria.
This study provides a fascinating approach to Genesis that will interest students and scholars in both biblical and classical studies, philosophy and creation narratives.

Recenzii
"Russell Gmirkin has presented ground-breaking research. The monograph is a tour de force in research on Ancient Near Eastern cultures. He has posited novel interpretations, in particular his interpretation of the early chapters of the book of Genesis, which is enlightening. There can no longer be any doubt that the Greek translators of Genesis had contact with and made use of Platonic ideas."
