«Naissance de Dieu : La Bible et l'historien» is the historical essay by Jean Bottéro, published by Gallimard in paperback (333 pages, in French).
Jean Bottéro examines the Bible as a set of historical documents: he analyzes the first chapters of Genesis, the Book of Job and Ecclesiastes, and shows how Israelite reflections on evil and the meaning of existence led to the idea of a single, transcendent God.
This edition, published on September 17, 1992, belongs to Gallimard's Folio Histoire collection.
Intended for readers interested in the history of religions, the Bible as a historical source and the ancient Near East.
Jean Bottéro was a French historian, assyriologist, Bible and ancient Near East scholar, and one of the world’s leading experts on Mesopotamia. He was a major Assyriologist, a renowned expert on the Ancient Near East and director of the Assyriology Chair at the École pratique des hautes études.
