Contents:
Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- Tables and Illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- Abbreviations -- Noah’s Flood as Myth and Reception: An Introduction -- It’s all in the Name: Reading the Noah Cycle in the Light of its Plot Markers -- Sifting the Debris: Calendars and Chronologies of the Flood Narrative -- Flood Calendars and Birds of the Ark in the Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q252 and 4Q254a), Septuagint, and Ancient Near East Texts -- “Woven of Reeds”: Genesis 6:14b as Evidence for the Preservation of the Reed-Hut Urheiligtum in the Biblical Flood Narrative -- Major Literary Traditions Involved in the Making of Mesopotamian Flood Traditions -- It’s a Craft! It’s a Cavern! It’s a Castle! Yima’s Vara, Iranian Flood Myths, and Jewish Apocalyptic Traditions -- Flood Stories in 1 Enoch 1–36: Diversity, Unity, and Ideology -- Somewhere Under The Rainbow: Noah’s Altar and the Archaeology of Cult in Ancient Israel -- “Go-4-Wood”: The Reception of Noah’s Ark in Ark Replicas -- Comparative Theology and the Flood Narrative: The Image of God -- The Deluge, Written Differently: André Chouraqui’s Distinctive Rendering of the Flood Narrative (Genesis 6:5–9:17) -- The Flood of Genesis: Myth and Logos. A Philosophical Examination -- Wicked Hearts, Grieving Heart: The Musical Afterlife of the “Flood Narrative” in the Nineteenth Century -- After Me, the Rapture: Eschatological Rhetoric and the Genesis Flood narrative in Contemporary Cinema -- Environmental Perspectives on the Genesis Flood Narrative -- The Flood Narrative: A Polysemy of Promises -- A Response (I) -- Inundated
Summary: The narrative of Noah’s flood in Genesis draws perennial interest from scholars and the general public. Too often, however, historical and exegetical studies of the text, the story’s reception, and discussion of theological appropriation remain aloof from each other, if not at odds. This volume takes the influential nature of the flood story as an ideal opportunity to bring some of these methods into dialogue.
