Frontmatter -- Contents -- Foreword -- Preface to the English Translation -- Introduction: The Primacy of Exodus Theology over Creation Theology? -- I. The Status of Creation Traditions in Several Twentieth-Century Currents of Christian Theology -- II. Contemporary Challenges for a Christian Creation Theology -- III. Traces of a Numinous Approach to the Environment in the Hebrew Bible -- IV. Creation and Blessing -- V. Ideas of the Origin of the World -- VI. The World as Manifestation of Divine Activity -- VII. The Destruction of Creation as a Result of Human Failure -- VIII. The Threatening World as the Work of God in God's Speeches (Job 38-41) -- IX. The Question of Origins in the Ionian Natural Philosophers -- X. The Wisdom Immanent in the World as the Prime Beginning in the First Testament -- XI.

Summary: Othmar Keel has become well known as the author of masterly studies on the iconography and texts of the ANE and their relationship to the text of the Hebrew Bible. In this volume, he partners with Silvia Schroer to assemble ANE texts and art that bears on the idea of creation. The result is a convenient assemblage of texts and iconographical data that may be studied in concert, often leading to being able to see old texts in new ways. As with much of this Swiss scholar's work, this new volume will prove to be a resource for all who wish to study the biblical theology of creation against its wider background.
