Genesis Beyond Sources is a radical and groundbreaking book with a new approach to understanding the book of Genesis and the Pentateuch. It has two components. The first touches the whole of Genesis and affects much of biblical narrative text. The second is more scattered and comprises the major observations stemming from close work on Genesis and broader study of parts of the Pentateuch.

Genesis Beyond Sources is a radical and groundbreaking book with a new approach to understanding the book of Genesis and the Pentateuch. It has two components. The first touches the whole of Genesis and affects much of biblical narrative text. The second is more scattered and comprises the major observations stemming from close work on Genesis and broader study of parts of the Pentateuch.The first component is a new approach to understanding Genesis that sets on its head the basic academic picture of the last few centuries. It is the first large scale alternative in English since source-critical analysis began. Its primary proposal is that the Bible text we have reflects not the END PRODUCT of the storytelling process but rather the BASE FROM WHICH STORYTELLERS BEGAN. A corollary is the claim made that the biblical text rather than stemming from continuous SOURCES reflects individual STORIES or TRADITIONS. Less a corollary than an observation is the move from the quest for HISTORY to the concern with MEANING. Meaning involves the nature of the biblical narrative text itself and concern for an understanding of human nature and the situation of life before God.Where there are different versions preserved of the same episode the texts do not have to be divided to provide a text for each source. In a USER-BASE approach, the storyteller (or appropriate intermediary) is free to choose one version and treat the other as a variant. Each version can be dealt with in its entirety, just as a story would be told in its entirety, and the text noting variant traditions. The observations of critical analysis separating one version from another are thus preserved. The fragmentation of critical analysis, distributing each version between continuous sources, is avoided.Before the invention of the printing press in fifteenth century Europe, manuscripts were hand-copied on treated skins (parchment), not paper. They were extremely expensive. Ordinary people did not have access to such costly items. Ordinary people HEARD the traditions from traditional repeaters, such as storytellers, theologians, and other intermediaries. They did not own them or read them.Three changes emerge regarding much biblical narrative text.i) It is not end product but the base from which to begin.ii) Its focus is not source but story or traditioniii) Its concern is less history than meaning and the exploration of human nature.There is no question that since Jean Astruc in 1753 the dismantling of the text we have, put together by compilers around the time of Israel''s major exile, has been focused on the reconstitution of the sources believed to have been used by these compilers (the sources: J, E, D, P). In this book, such dismantling can be done quite differently from the pattern of the past, with a shift of emphasis away from extensive chronological sources, extending in some cases from creation to Canaan, to an emphasis on individual stories capable of being easily committed to memory in an oral culture and varied according to the audience.Furthermore, the compiling of extended sources to form our biblical text was done on a chronological pattern, from the beginnings of Israel to near its end. Naturally, sources recovered by the academic fragmentation of the Bible text will reflect much the same chronological pattern. The trap that users have fallen into down the centuries is to assume that what is in chronological sequence reflects historyâwhich of course it need not. Individual stories do not engage the drive for history in the same way. Individual stories can be treated on their own merits and interpreted for the meaning they offer rather than being restricted to an historical framework. Equally a story that appears to relate to the beginnings of Israel may have great meaning for a period much closer to Israel''s end.The second component is not equally unified. Major aspects include the following.1) The discovery of the presence of El Shaddai (God Almighty) editing, evident and demonstrable within the text of Genesis 17â50, which reinforces the unlikely claim to the family unity of the early ancestors (ch. 7).2) The implication of this El Shaddai editing opens the way to pretty much the elimination of any significant P source before Exodus 25, the tent sanctuary, a text extending from Exod 25 to Num 10.3) After the book of Genesis, there are a number of issues in the Pentateuch that need to be highlighted, such as the event at the Sea, the two contrasting itineraries for Israel after that, the gift of the Law including the move to Canaan (Exod 19-24), and the extensive text associated with the tent sanctuary, Exod 25 to Num 10 (ch. 6).Chapter Six, "what next", looks at these: the duplication in the account of the deliverance at the Sea, the two itineraries reported for Israel, north-east to Canaan and south-east to Sinai, the block devoted to the law, with its promised journey to Canaan (Exod 19â24), and the text associated with the tent sanctuary, from Exodus 25 to Numbers 10.4) The presence within the text of Genesis of blocks that contribute surprisingly little insight into the reality of early Israel (see for example chs. 14-15, 34-36, and the latter part of the Joseph Story).5) The Joseph Story is a story of reconciliation within a dysfunctional family. It is best understood as a forerunner in Egypt rather than Assyria to diaspora literature (where faith goes beyond factâsee sections of Daniel, Esther, and Judith), therefore having almost nothing to do with the ancestral traditions associated with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These ancestral traditions are therefore limited basically to Genesis 12â33.An Epilogue seeks meaning for the whole and ponders the question: what is the nature of this significant block of text?

SHORT SUMMARY: Beyond Genesis offers an alternative explanation for the origin of man that is unique and different from either side in the familiar Creationism versus Evolution debate. The author explores a refreshingly new interpretation of the book of Genesis that he believes was not meant to be understood completely until the present age of information and reason. He reveals new insights which uncover a storyline in Genesis that has gone unnoticed through the ages. He offers timely new explanations for all the other "myths" of Genesis, including the source of Cain ́s wife and the flood of Noah. All hypotheses are based on sound, recent science and the field of genetics, and are supported through references to the original sources. The central theme of the entire book is that the book of Genesis really is accurate historically, and that modern man is a product of BOTH the evolutionary processes, and a unique, separate line of man, the one referred to in Genesis. The book also reveals that the "plan" for man is not finished. LONG SUMMARY: There has been considerable interest lately in the debate between science and religion over creation and the existence of God. In order to gain a larger base of support, many religious groups are changing the wording of their agenda from 'Creationism" to 'Intelligent Design" because of problems with the stories in the book of Genesis. If we study the history of man as contained in the book of Genesis, and compare it to the archeological evidence, we do find that there are some common grounds. The differences exist mostly because historians refuse to consider the stories contained in the Bible as anything other than myths or exa

The meaning of life is something that has puzzled humanity for centuries and continues to inspire contemplation and discussion. Near the end of the nineteenth century, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche predicted that the West’s obsession with viewing the world through a scientific lens would eventually lead to the “death of God”—the realization that our religious traditions would not hold up under scientific scrutiny and, therefore, would become unbelievable. This in turn, Nietzsche believed, would lead to nihilism and a loss of purpose. After all, without the existence of a transcendent reality, what is the point? Why continue living? Or better yet, if there is no God, why not do whatever we want whenever we want? In a million years, what will it matter? The World of Meaning attempts to answer these questions by exploring the claim that humans essentially live in two worlds—the scientific world of objects and the conceptual world of meaning— and although the objective world may be easier to measure scientifically, it appears that the world of meaning is our primary reality. Through the study of philosophy, science, and mythology, The World of Meaning attempts to prove the existence of this conceptual world and provide us with a blueprint for rediscovering the transcendent as well as the purpose of our lives.

When Tony Campbell, aged 75, asked the Council of Jesuit Theological College for Emeritus status and retirement from JTC, both were granted most graciously, along with a testimonial document which said in part: 'His teaching has combined evocation and provocation in the best sense of those terms. He has mentored research students with scholarly exactitude and personal care. He has published books of the highest scholarly quality, of engaging readability, and of passionate conviction.' When we at ATF were considering asking him for a volume of Collected Works or Selected Writings, we were well aware that 'published books of the highest scholarly quality' were likely to be found on the shelves of libraries and of specialised academics, but not with students and others generally interested. There may be a dozen or more of Tony's books on the list from Amazon.com booksellers, along with another two or three that are not listed there. But most are heavy-duty specialist works, not easily accessible even to the educated public. We were equally well aware that there was a surprising number of essays and articles scattered in journals and proceedings of conferences that were, because of the scattering, often just as inaccessible. We thought that a collection of these in a single volume would be of great value to those interested. In the Introduction to this volume, Father Campbell has gone into some detail about the contents. Suffice for us to say that Job and the issues associated with suffering concern us all, that the interplay of history and narrative is a constant in the understanding of much biblical text, and that the nature of the Bible and its role in our lives is a major concern for most thinking Christians. While Father Campbell's focus is on the Older Testament, pondering what he looks at throws light on much of the Newer Testament as well. The writings Tony Campbell has pulled together in this single volume address significant issues within the readable length of an article or a talk. Addressed originally to thinking people, we at ATF believe they are likely to be of interest to a wide audience.
