The Origin of the History of Israel: Herodotus' Histories as Blueprint for the First Books of the Bible - The Library of Hebrew Bible / Old Testament Studies
Jan-Wim Wesselius
This book aims to demonstrate that "Primary History", the historical work contained in the first nine books of the Hebrew Bible (Genesis-2 Kings), was written as one unitary work, in deliberate emulation of the Greek-language Histories of Herodotus of Halicarnassus (completed circa 440 BCE).
