  • John Van Seters (Hamilton, 2 maggio 1935) è uno storico e biblista canadese, importante studioso dell'antico Vicino Oriente. La sua opera principale e più influente è (1975), in cui affermava che non esistono prove convincenti a sostegno dell'esistenza storica di Abramo e degli altri patriarchi della Bibbia, né della storicità del libro della Genesi. Questa pubblicazione mise in discussione sia la scuola dell'"archeologia biblica" di William Albright, che nei precedenti cinquanta anni aveva affermato che l'archeologia confermava le verità fondamentali della Genesi, sia la scuola della "storia della tradizione" di Martin Noth, che affermava che la Genesi conteneva un nucleo di verità conservatasi attraverso la tradizione orale fino alla posteriore composizione scritta del libro.
