A Commentary on the Book of Genesis · From Adam to Noah (Umberto Cassuto Biblical Commentaries)

One of the most powerful responses to the prevalent JE source-criticism established approaches in academic Bible studies. The commentary aims to explain, with the help of an historic-philological method of interpretation, the simple meaning of the biblical text, and to arrive, as nearly as possible, at the sense that the words of the Torah were intended to have for the reader at the time when they were written.
