The Creation Story Of Genesis I: A Sumerian Theogony And Cosmogony is a book written by Hugo Radau in 1902. The book explores the origins of the creation story found in the first chapter of the Book of Genesis in the Bible. Radau argues that the story has its roots in the ancient Sumerian civilization and their beliefs about the creation of the world.The book provides a detailed analysis of the Sumerian creation myth, known as the Enuma Elish, and compares it to the Genesis account. Radau suggests that the similarities between the two stories are not coincidental and that the Hebrews likely borrowed from the Sumerians when creating their own creation narrative.The book delves into the Sumerian pantheon of gods and their roles in the creation of the world, as well as the cosmogony, or the study of the origins of the universe. Radau also examines the differences between the two stories and the unique contributions that the Hebrews made to their version of the creation story.Overall, The Creation Story Of Genesis I: A Sumerian Theogony And Cosmogony is a scholarly work that provides a fascinating look at the origins of one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. It offers a new perspective on the story's origins and sheds light on the ancient beliefs of the Sumerians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
