|
| Desmond Alexander | Genealogies, Seed, and the Compositional Unity of Genesis (Tyndale Bulletin) | Advanced
| Great!
| Argues that Genesis is composed to focus on a unique family line. Members of this line of ‘seed’ enjoy a special relationship with God, resulting in 2 eternal covenants: with Noah; and Abraham. The Abrahamic covenant mediates God’s promise to all nations through Abraham’s seed. Genesis shows the initial fulfilment, but ultimate fulfilment is linked to a Judah’s royal dynasty. (Pdf version.) |

| Gordon Wenham | The Religion of the Patriarchs | Advanced
| Good
 | As titled. Concludes that the evidence points towards an early date since the ‘features of patriarchal religion are compatible with an early second-millennium date for the tradition, but they would be strange if it grew up in the later monarchy period.’ |
