The article presents an approximation on the advances in the exegetical
and theological investigation of the first eleven chapters of Genesis. Initially,
some aspects that characterize and give unity to the book are considered, in order
to later focus attention on the strip 1-11: its particular characteristics, its relationship
with the entire book, with the Pentateuch and, in general, with all Scripture,
in order to finish by dealing with aspects concerning its internal logic. Although
many of the conclusions do not reach the level of certainties, they are in relation to the most plausible hypotheses and the consensus that scholars have
reached.
