In God’s Image and Likeness 2: Enoch, Noah, and the Tower of Babel, Preface and Introduction

Part of our book chapter reprint series, this article originally appeared in In God’s Image and Likeness 2: Enoch, Noah, and the Tower of Babel (2014) by Jeffrey M. Bradshaw and David J. Larsen.

Abstract: In the preface and introduction to Jeffrey M. Bradshaw and David J. Larsen’s detailed commentary on the final chapters of the book of Moses (6-8) and the closing chapters of the primeval history of Genesis (6-11), the authors describe the significance of this book to them personally, tell why they take the often-parodied stories of Enoch, Noah, and the Tower of Babel seriously, and show how deeply the accounts in these chapters are interwoven with temple themes. The arrangement of text, illustrations, source, citations, and the use of ancient sources are described.

***

More than seven years ago a very confident pseudonymous critic on a small, extraordinarily nasty, and mostly atheist ex-Mormon message board took it upon himself to prophesy:

“By Jan. 1, 2014 Interpreter will be dead. . . . Either totally dead or down to token ‘blog’ style postings.” (Bond James Bond, 25 January 2013)

I hope that “Mr. Bond” kept his day job.

The Interpreter Foundation was launched almost precisely 399 weeks ago. This Friday will mark the 398th consecutive week that it has published at least one article — which is not to mention its books, its blog, its posted scripture roundtables, its film efforts, its conferences, and so forth.

That poor “Mr. Bond’s” prediction was proved wrong is entirely due to generous donations of time and labor and, yes, money from a great many people, to all of whom I’m deeply grateful. Our operation is almost entirely volunteer. Although our bylaws allow the Foundation’s top leadership to draw up to $500 annually for their services, none has ever taken anything. Nor are our authors paid. This is a labor of love, passion, and commitment.

If you need guidance on how to donate to the Interpreter Foundation, you can find such information here. And please don’t overlook the brief discussion of AmazonSmile, which can painlessly permit you to enlist Amazon to support the Interpreter Foundation (or some other charity) with each book or other item that you purchase there. In those cases, it’s Amazon.com that gives the money. There is absolutely no cost to you.
