The genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 and their significance for chronology

The purpose of this work is to address the issue of the genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 and their significance for the construction of a chronology from the time of Abraham back to the time of Adam. It is the intent of this work to reexamine the chronological significance of the genealogies on the basis of recent developments in hermeneutics and textual criticism, and to determine whether the recent hesitance with regard to pre-Abrahamic chronology has a sound basis in the biblical text properly interpreted.
