More particularly, the attention<br />is focused on the question of whether they are eponyms, legendary<br />figures or historical persons. The narrative of Gen 12–50 was composed<br />in the Persian period, so the distance from the possible time when Abraham,<br />Isaac and Joseph/Israel lived is very long. This problem is connected<br />with the role of archaeology and extra-biblical evidence. Regarding the<br />patriarchs the question is posed whether they in fact “existed”, that is, if<br />they are historical persons or literary imaginations invented by authors of<br />the second part of Genesis.}, number={4}, journal={Collectanea Theologica}, author={Chrostowski, Waldemar}, year={2019}, month={kwi.}, pages={5–33} }
