The Plot-structure of Genesis: ‘Will the Righteous Seed Survive?’ in the <i>Muthos</i>-logical Movement from Complication to Dénouement de Todd L. Patterson

The Plot-structure of Genesis: ‘Will the Righteous Seed Survive?’ in the <i>Muthos</i>-logical Movement from Complication to Dénouement: Biblical Interpretation Series, cartea 160

Autor Todd L. Patterson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 mar 2018
In The Plot-structure of Genesis Todd L. Patterson argues that Genesis is organized by a development from complication to dénouement. The question 'Will the righteous seed survive?' drives the narrative to climax. Gen 4 sets up the complication. Cain and Abel are the seed of the woman who should lead humanity back to God's creation-sanctuary. Because Cain does not master sin, his unrighteousness threatens the survival of the seed. Each narrative tôlĕdôt division develops this theme until dénouement in the Joseph narrative when God ensures the survival of the promised seed.

By showing how plot integrates with the widely recognized tôlĕdôt structure, prominent motifs, and enigmatic features of the text, Todd L. Patterson provides a surprisingly novel interpretation of Genesis.
