Defenders: Excursus on Creation of Life and Biological Diversity (Part 13): Did Genesis Borrow From Babylonian Myths?

The book provides a complete translation of the Enuma Elish and other Babylonian creation stories, along with commentaries. It outlines the discovery, purpose, date, source, and structure of the Enuma Elish. The book is divided into four chapters, covering the translation of the epic, other Babylonian and Mesopotamian creation accounts, and comparisons with biblical creation stories. Heidel aimed the book at biblical scholars and Christian ministers, highlighting the parallels between Mesopotamian and Hebrew mythology, although some of his arguments have been overturned by later scholarship.
