Summary: | This article evaluates recent trends in scholarship on the Abraham narratives in Genesis 12-25 based on a selection of works published over the last eighteen years. Four main issues are discussed here: the current lack of consensus on the nature of the oral and written traditions underlying the Book of Genesis, a need for methodological restraint in the historical-critical scholarship, new approaches to the historical study of Genesis 12-25 and current directions in the theological study of the ancestral narratives. |
