"The Genesis of Genesis is about the mytho-empiricism of creation-- cosmogony. In its attempt to compare the mythologies of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean cultures--Egyptian, Greek, Judaic and Mesopotamian--the Judaic cosmogony of genesis, which is unique in its reliance on the word as creative agent, is contrasted with the Egyptian, Greek and Mesopotamian mythologies, which are more deterministic"--Publisher.
