[...] These lectures deal, first, with the origin of the books in which these stories are contained. What is their date in their present form, how and when were they composed and from what source did the writers draw their material ? Secondly : What is the nature of that material? How much of it is derived from foreign myths and legends, whether Babylonian or Canaanitic ? How did the Hebrews come into possession of this material ? Thirdly : What peculiarly Hebrew material, if any, exists in these stories ? How much of that material is historical and in what sense ? What evidence does it give, not only of the ancestry and political development, but still more of the religion and religious development of the Hebrews in the early period? Fourthly: What is the religious value to us of the present day of these stories and the books in which they are contained ?
