In this unique study, Dr. Tamás Czövek offers a new perspective\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon Genesis 1-11 through the previously unexamined lens of kingship, city, and cult. Utilizing a comprehensive, comparative exegesis of the Primeval History with Mesopotamian literature, Dr. Czövek compellingly argues for a reading of Primeval History as a counter-narrative to that of Babylon - one that criticizes Babylon's hierarchical society, imperial politics, and culture - and illuminates the way Primeval History subverts shared themes to tell a new story of the image of God in humanity. Biblical scholars will be enriched and challenged in this timely work, bringing deep-rooted insights from these ancient communities into relevance for today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tamás Czövek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839739894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839739897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Langham Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Tamás Czövek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48014330757375,"sku":"9781839739897","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b5e157ce-c1f4-4a75-9136-b1b07e6d0213.jpg?v=1767747942","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/challenging-the-beast-challenging-empire-tamzas-czzivek-9781839739897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
