Description
This book explores the role of the biblical patriarch Abraham in the formation and use of authoritative texts in the Persian and Hellenistic periods.
It reflects a conference session in 2009 focusing on Abraham as a figure of cultural memory in the literature of these periods.
Cultural memory is the shared reproduction and recalling of what has been learned and retained.
It also involves transformation and innovation. As a figure of memory, stories of Abraham served as guidelines for identity-formation and authoritative illustration of behaviour for the emerging Jewish communities.
