Babel and Bible: Two Lectures Delivered before the Members of the Deutsche Orien

Description: Babel and Bible by Friedrich Delitzsch, C.H.W. Johns Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A distinguished German Assyriologist, Friedrich Delitzsch (1850–1922) caused a furore in 1902 when he gave a lecture on the light that cuneiform research had shed on the Bible, tracing Old Testament narratives to earlier Babylonian myths. Reissued here is the illustrated 1903 English edition. Publisher Description Son of a Lutheran theologian, Friedrich Delitzsch (1850–1922) was a professor of Semitic languages and Assyriology at Leipzig, Breslau and Berlin. A founder of the German Oriental Society, he caused a furore far beyond the world of Ancient Near Eastern studies when, in January 1902, he gave a lecture upon the relations between the Bible and the recent results of cuneiform research in the presence of the German emperor and his court. Delitzsch demonstrated for his non-specialist audience that (as many biblical archaeologists already knew) several Old Testament narratives, including the stories of the Creation and the Flood, were derived from earlier Babylonian myths. The Cambridge Assyriologist C. H. W. Johns, who translated and edited this illustrated 1903 English edition of the original lecture and its sequel, remarked that the book is now a historic event, with print runs of 40,000 copies. This edition also includes Delitzschs responses to his critics. Details ISBN 1108081614 ISBN-13 9781108081610 Title Babel and Bible Author Friedrich Delitzsch, C.H.W.
