520 1 $a"In The Names of God, Brichto brings his "poetic" reading of Scripture to the Book of Genesis. Using contemporary methods and insights of literary criticism, he examines one of the great inconsistencies within Genesis that have led to the supposition of multiple authors - the assortment of terms or names for the Deity, among them Yahweh and Elohim - and attempts to show the appropriateness of certain of these names to the stories in which they appear.
520 8 $aHe also looks at a variety of other data within Genesis such as genealogies, eponyms, and chronologies, and shows that their poetical function - their variety, ingenuity, and imaginative whimsy - is vital to the structure of the text as a whole. In finding a unity in this diversity of materials, Brichto makes a strong case for the text as the artistic achievement of a single author."--BOOK JACKET.
