Cover of Shlomo Giora Shoham: Genesis of Genesis (PDF)

The Genesis of Genesis is about the mytho-empiricism of creation-cosmogony. In its attempt to compare the mythologies of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean cultures-Egyptian, Greek, Judaic and Mesopotamian-the Judaic cosmogony of genesis, which is unique in its reliance on the word as creative agent, is contrasted with the Egyptian, Greek and Mesopotamian mythologies, which are more deterministic.
