Before Abraham Was: The Unity of Genesis 1-11 (1985) is a book written by University of California at Berkeley faculty members Isaac M. Kikawada and Arthur Quinn. The book presents historical and rhetorical analysis that affirms a single author of the first eleven chapters of Genesis, challenging the documentary hypothesis view of multiple sources and authors. It compares these first chapters of Genesis with the Akkadian Atrahasis epic (although unacknowledged, a similar comparison can be found in Kenneth Kitchen's The Bible in its World) and analyzes these chapters usage of chiasmus. The book acknowledges the work of Umberto Cassuto. Reviews * Reviewed by Leon J. Podles. Touchstone. Summer, 1991. Vol 4. No. 3. * Reviewed by Lloyd R. Bailey.
