On Genesis: A New Reading
Bruce Vawter
In commenting on the Book of Origins, Vawler explains the literary category of myth in a positive and enlightening way. Myth is the attempt of a community to dramatize its faith in its own identity and its institutions. The merit of the Hebrews is not simply to have used myth to write their history of man.
