(Theophilus Goldridge) 1856 1934 Pinches, Theophilus Goldridge The Old Testament in the Light of the Historical Records and Legends of Assyria and Babylonia "The Old Testament in the Light of the Historical Records and Legends of Assyria and Babylonia" by Theophilus G. Pinches is a scholarly historical account written in the early 20th century. This work aims to examine the connections and contrasts between biblical texts, particularly those in the Old Testament, and the historical records and myths from the ancient civilizations of Assyria and Babylonia. It delves into subjects such as creation stories, the lives of patriarchs, and the interactions between the Hebrews and their neighboring cultures. The opening of the book presents a detailed foreword that establishes the author's intentions and the analytical focus of the text. Pinches introduces the concept of drawing upon existing knowledge and discoveries in Assyriology to create a comprehensive overview of the intersections between these ancient texts and the tales of Genesis. He outlines his approach to comparing the biblical narrative of creation with Babylonian accounts, emphasizing the evolution of these stories over time and the cultural contexts in which they arose. The section also hints at the book's structure, which will cover a range of historical and mythological themes through ancient records, exploring how these narratives shaped early human understanding of the world and divinity.
