The new edition of Gunkel''s work places in historical context the sometimes overly strong reaction against Delitzsch, headed in part by Gunkel. Hanson has provided scholars a great service in this edition, as he has composed an excellent Foreword, which contains a contemporary evaluation of Delitzsch''s claims, as well as a solid review of the comparative method used today to investigate Mesopotamian and Israelite connections. Hanson deserves thanks from those of us in the field of Mesopotamian and Biblical studies."" --Mark W. Chavalas, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse""Hermann Gunkel was one of the ''greats'' of modern Biblical scholarship . . . Written in the context of the famous ''Babel-Bible'' debate of the beginning of the twentieth century, this book, in a lively, even passionate way, raises some important questions about how to compare cultures and assess their relationships to each other--questions that have not lost their value more than a century later. We must be grateful, therefore, to K.C. Hanson for bringing Gunkel''s book back into print in a revised translation with helpful introduction, notes, and up-dated bibliography.""--Peter Machinist, Harvard Divinity SchoolHermann Gunkel (1862-1932) was Professor of Old Testament at the universities in Berlin, Giessen, and Halle, Germany.
