Starting with the fall of the angels and running through Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Enoch, the giants and on to the patriarchs and prophets, Baring-Gould collects the stories that grew up around the figures of the Old Testament. His sources are chiefly Talmudic and rabbinic writings and the Muslim traditions that drew on them.
A curious, well-stocked treasury for readers interested in how Jews and Muslims expanded the biblical narratives. Download the free EPUB.
