Recenzje

At first glance, David Carr presents a series of highly interesting essays that offer an equally familiar and fresh approach to Gen 1-11. But the whole is more than the sum of its parts, it is a well-founded thesis on the formation of biblical primeval history. Here and there one may interpret the complexities of the biblical text in a different way, but one will not be able to avoid dealing with David Carr's well-presented and balanced arguments.
