the creation. the deluge, the antedilu-
Wan patriarchs, as well as the origin
of the Sabbath, is a myth from Baby
lonia and that the Jews got their ideas
from the Babylonians while in exile
and used them in writing their own
history of Israel and that which is
known as Israelitish is only an adapta-
ton by late Hebrew writer's of Baby
lonia mythology. These theories have
been carried into the New Testament.
Even Christ is declared by some of
the critics to be a transformed Baby
lonian BEL or "Merodach'' The
characteristic features of the life of
Jesus-his passion. death. resurrection
and asce sion-they claim, are ideas
which had their origin in Babylonian
mythology.
Reversal of Views of Scholars.
In Professor Clay's new work ON
"Amurru, the Home of the Northern
Semites.'' he presents authoritatively
that the history, culture and religion
of the Israelites are not of Babylonian
origin. The views of the critics who
MOulu ulSSlDdlG TIE iDiDtG 4ulO
lonian myths are not only proved to be
without foundation. but he shows that
Israel's religion and culture are devel-
opments which had their origin in Is
rael's own land and that Semitic Baby
Ionian culture also originated in the BIZ
BILE lands. This is complete reversal
of the position taken by scholars in re-
gard to the origin of the culture in
many respects common to both the
Babylonians and Israelites.
Presents Entirely New Theory.
The ordinary Interpretation of ideas
from one nation to another is ac-
knowledged by Professor Clay, but he
vigorously attacks the n-Babylonian
theory by rendering of no effect the
few argun ents advanced to support
them. and then, with an enormous
amount of historical, archaeological
and pathological material, he scien-
tifically builds up his own theory,
which is entirely new and revolution
airy and opposite to those Of every
eminent Assyriologist. The creation
story Of the Babylonians, which is SIM
liar to the Biblical account, Dr. Clay
states, had it's origin in Syria. The
theory of its BabyIonian origin re-
ceives its deathblow in this book The
Babylonian story of the antediluvian
patriarchs, he shows. had it's origin in
Bible lands. The deluge story of the |
Babylonians is also shown to have |
been an importation from this land.
Eminent as an Assyriologist.
In the first part OF the book, which |
is readable to the intelligent layman.
the author presents a careful analysis |
of the views of other scholars and his |
own. The second part of his work is
reserved for the technical material |
upon which he bases his position.
DR.. Clay's eminent position among
of the world and the
many authoritative translations of
hieroglyphics and scien-
tific works published by him oblige
to give DR.. Clay's theories Sc
rious consideration. In this book the
author has attempted to overthrow
the prevailing opinions of most AS
syriologists and Old Testament crit
les, and he must expect that his con-
tentions will be holly contested at ev-
cry point of contact as well as the sci
antiflc material which he presents in
the confirmation of his position.
