About This Book

A systematic study applies comparative-mythological principles to the Hebrew legendary corpus, examining origins, sources, and methodological tools. It surveys literary and folkloric materials and argues for psychological and cultural forces shaping motifs. Chapters analyze how modes of life such as nomadism and agriculture influenced religious imagery and mythic figures, and identify recurring archetypes. Later sections trace a myth of civilization, the impact of rising national consciousness on narrative forms, and the gradual move toward monotheism with attendant differentiation of divine roles. The work aims to reconstruct developmental patterns rather than settle theological or historical controversies.

Transcriber’s Note:

Minor errors and inconsistencies of punctuation have been corrected with no further mention here. Obvious printer’s errors have also been corrected, as noted in the table below.

On p. 23, the reference to Chapter VI. §8 seems to be in error, and should have been to §8 of Chapter V., where there is a reference to Elijah as an historical figure. This has been corrected.

The reference to Isaiah 63.17, as printed on p. xxx, was hand-corrected to refer to 63.16, which itself is quoted on p. 229. The correction is made here as well.

Footnote 308 on p. 109 had no corresponding anchor in the text. The intended placement is not obvious. The anchor has been added at the end of the first paragraph.

The reference to Psalms XXIII on p. 133 was printed as ‘XVIII’, and has been corrected.

On p. 171, the opening quote of the passage beginning:

‘Helios saw the maiden Anaxibia dancing there...

has no closing quote, and the end of the passage is not clear.

Likewise, on p. 171, with the passage beginning:

‘To me is due from thee...

In the Excursus section, there is no Excursus J.
