lowing William F. Albright and some other highly regarded authorities in Biblical archaeology, he concludes, “ They appear as real men, living in a real world which is now well-known because of the work of modem ar chaeology.” Aspects of the doctrine of God re vealed in the patriarchal narratives include omnipotence, omniscience, ho liness, justice, providence, grace, and promise. In a unique manner the pa triarchs were men with a forward look. Above all, they had experienced a direct revelation from God, and thus possessed an assurance and a majesty that belonged later only to prophets, priests, and apostles. Even in these several volumes it ap pears that treatment is at best only of the survey type, but this, with the various related themes, will be appreciated. Bibliographies and an index provide easy access to the ma terials in the book and underlying it.
