The creation-story of Genesis I : Sumerian theogony and cosmogony

In this brief study of the creation account in Genesis 1, Radau makes full use of the Sumerian materials available in his day.

Going into linguistic detail of the Hebrew and Sumerian sources, he draws a set of correlations between the two.
