Adam as Israel : Genesis 1-3 as the introduction to the Torah and Tanakh / Seth D. Postell. Cambridge, U.K. : James Clarke and Co., 2012. ©2011 1 online resource (xii, 180 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Originally published 2011. Postell contends that the opening chapters of the Bible, when interpreted as a strategic literary introduction to the Torah and to the Tanakh, intentionally foreshadows Israel's failure to keep the Sinai Covenant and their exile from the Promised Land, in order to point the reader to a future work of God. Postell highlights numerous intentional links between the story of Adam and the story of Israel and, in the process, explains numerous otherwise perplexing features of the Eden story. Includes bibliographical references (pages 169-180) and indexes.
