David T. Tsumura - The Earth & the Waters in Genesis 1 & 2

This monograph is the outcome of my work at Tyndale House as a research fellow of the Genesis 1-11 Project between July 1986 and March 1988. It provides a linguistic discussion in which Genesis 1 and 2 are set in the literary and mythological context of the ancient Near East so that similarities and differences between the biblical tradition and the extrabiblical ones are elucidated.
