Batto is genius
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found "Slaying the Dragon" to be enlightening, and very informative. Batto's style of writing clearly presents the ancient near-eastern myths in a easy to understand fashion. His book is a must for any student of Hebrew scripture, and a key to understanding the origins of the Old Testament.
