Media Reviews
... [a] learned ... but also robust book... Forsyth is much at home amid the heroics, graphic laments and winged enormities and leviathans of the Sumerian, Hittite and Canaanite epic fables... He sees the narrative links between Marduk and Zeus, between the death-king Mor and the classical underworld. At the close of the study, the chapters on Augustine glow with intelligence and sympathy. --George Steiner, The Times Literary Supplement [The Old Enemy] really is one of the dozen most genuinely brilliant and original works I've encountered in the past few years. --Jeffrey Burton Russell, Commonweal
