Description

Explore the deep roots of ancient storytelling with The Dragon, the Mountain, and the Nations. This scholarly work from Eisenbrauns investigates the origins and meanings of the dragon-slaying myth, a theme that holds significant weight in both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. By tracing the trajectories and permutations of this myth, the book provides a detailed chronicle of how these stories evolved across different cultures. The study focuses on the biblical myth as a fluid tradition that responds to and reworks extrabiblical elements. Readers will find a comprehensive look at a myth with a long ancestry that reaches as far as India and perhaps even Japan. This volume is an essential resource for those studying ancient Near Eastern civilizations and the development of religious narratives. It offers a unique perspective on how ancient myths shaped the theological landscape of the Bible.
