Creation, un-creation, re-creation : a discursive commentary on Genesis 1-11
Provides a commentary on "Genesis" 1-11, the so-called 'Primeval History' in which the account of creation is given. The author works from the perspective of acknowledging the text's literary integrity as an authored work, rather than focusing simply on the its background in various sources (whilst of course paying due attention to those sources).
