Download or read book Babylonian Influence on the Bible and Popular Beliefs written by A. Smythe Palmer and published by Book Tree. This book was released on 2000 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know that the Bible creation stories had their origins in far older tales. These stories strongly match the Old Testament and originate from clay tablets discovered in ancient Sumeria and Babylonia. They are the oldest preserved stories the world has ever known, revealed in this interesting book and passed down for many centuries before being adopted by whoever wrote the Old Testament. It seems the Word of God may not have come in its entirety from God, but gods. It is important that the earliest sources of our belief systems be examined. That is the purpose of this book.
