"Readers will find useful tools throughout Miller's work, whether it is the careful development of the background of the dragon-slaying myth in ancient cultures or the myriad observations about biblical texts when examined through this lens. This is a subject that has needed sustained attention. Even where readers may not be convinced by Miller's arguments, they will find ample material to develop and strengthen their own." -Mark McEntire, Review of Biblical Literature "Miller has provided a great service to biblical scholars. He has assembled a great deal of evidence from within and without the Bible and clearly has a strong command of the literature. Rather than a simplistic search for parallels, he identifies the component aspects of the mythic material, then locates these mythemes in a wide variety of texts. Through this, he is able to argue for the presence of the dragon-slaying myth without suggesting wholesale borrowing or complete dependence. While scholars who see little to no Chaoskampf material in the biblical text are unlikely to be convinced by all of his examples, the volume of evidence and the care that Miller takes to employ his arguments will help to continue what has been a healthy, lively debate for over a century." -Brandon R. Grafius, Review of Biblical Literature "I don't know of any other book on this subject which manages to be both so wide-ranging and detailed. This is an important contribution." -Eric Ortlund, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
