Fleming, Daniel E. “History in Genesis,” Westminster Theological Journal 65 (2003): 251–62.
History has always mattered to Christians. "If Christ has not been raised," says Paul, "your faith is futile" (1 Cor 15:17, NIV). God's great acts in history must not be the figments of human imagination, fictional illustrations for some ancient writer's theological ruminations. Unfortunately, the Bible's memory for history is not above doubt, and, especially with the rise of modern critical scholarship, many have doubted. When it comes to the facts regarding basic events, their settings, and who was involved, the more distant past is the most susceptible to a global sense that the whole thing is made up, or at least has gone through so many stages of removal from the setting described that the product has lost any connection to its point of origin. Unsurprisingly, such stories of Israel's distant past allow the least possibility for evaluation in light of independent evidence.
The Genesis Creation Account and Its Reverberations in the Old Testament: A Book Review-Part One
Bible and Spade, 2023
Part One of this book review highlights the comparisons that many critics make between the biblical record of Creation and other ancient Near Eastern (ANE) literature. Does Genesis borrow plot points? Does the terminology actually show that the Israelites believed the world was covered with a solid dome? How should we regard any similarities between pagan mythology and the Bible? Endnotes and Bibliography for part one are here: https://biblearchaeology.org/images/Smith-Documentation-Winter-2023.pdf
Wrangling with Abraham: An Evaluation of Recent Studies on Genesis 12–25
Australian Biblical Review 67 (2019), 13–30, 2019
This article evaluates recent trends in scholarship on the Abraham narratives in Genesis 12–25 based on a selection of works published over the last eighteen years. Four main issues are discussed here: the current lack of consensus on the nature of the oral and written traditions underlying the Book of Genesis, a need for methodological restraint in the historical-critical scholarship, new approaches to the historical study of Genesis 12–25 and current directions in the theological study of the ancestral narratives.
