Die Ortsangaben im Buch Genesis Buchkatalog

Detlef Jericke comments the toponyms of the book of Genesis according to their appearance in the masoretic text. He discusses the problems of localization and gives reason, if possible, for one proposition made. Furthermore the book presents interpretations of the »topographical production« (»topographische Inszenierung« as another term for »mental« or »ideological map«) of the four sections of the book of Genesis: the Primeval story, the Abraham story, the Jacob story, and the Joseph story. Remarks about the supposed historical background of the Genesis stories complete the topographical studies. The results are illustrated by five maps.
