Autor J.J.T. Doedens
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 mar 2019
In The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1–4, Jaap Doedens offers an overview of the history of exegesis of the enigmatic text about the ‘sons of God’, the ‘daughters of men’, and the ‘giants’. First, he analyzes the text of Gen 6:1–4. Subsequently, he tracks the different exegetical proposals from the earliest exegesis until those of modern times. He further provides the reader with an evaluation of the meaning of the expression ‘sons of God’ in the Old Testament and the Ancient Near East. In the last chapter, he concentrates on the message and function of Gen 6:1–4. This volume comprehensively gathers ancient and modern exegetical attempts, providing the means for an ongoing dialogue about this essentially complex and elusive passage.

Recenzii

Doedens is to be applauded for a competent, cautious, and nearly comprehensive treatment of a short text that has captured the imagination and attention of scholar and layperson through the millennia......Doedens’s study is thoughtful, thorough, and helpful for those interested in this tiny passage and the massive literature it has spawned.
