This article introduces Ronald Hendel's theory and methods of Biblical interpretation, with a focus on his Genesis trilogy, viewpoint in archaeology, and cultural memory perspectives. Hendel weaves together myths, folklore, literary works and cultural memory with detailed and stringent textual analysis, leading to a broad perspective on cultural history and thus revealing the interactive relationship between history and cultural memory as well as a rich horizon fusion. Hendel's great contribution to the Hebrew Bible studies lies in his repeated interpretation and cultural reconstruction on Genesis by historical criticism, latest discoveries in archaeology, textual criticism and cultural memory study, illustrating the profound significance of cultural memory in shaping the identity and tradition of the ancient Israelis.
