To study Genesis in terms of its literary and historical content is not to say that we are in any way being irreverent in our reading of this part of the Old Testament. In other words, it is possible to read Genesis in both a spirit of appreciation for its position as the opening exegetical narrative of the Bible and as a document that reflects literary and historical realities and influences during the time when it was being written down.

In Ronald A. Wells History Through the Eyes of Faith, we see Wells compare and contrast the Greek and the often brushed over Hebrew societies. This analysis goes through the many different points of the two very different cultures opening the eyes of the reader as to how and why they were different. Also, with this kind of analysis it would not be beneficial unless the conclusions are accurate, which is why in the case of Wells study of Greek and Hebrew culture, it is beneficial.
