Robinson has masterfully traced a sense of wonder back to its ancient, remarkable source JULIAN COMAN, OBSERVERReading Genesis is alive with questions of kindness, community and how to express what we so often struggle to put into words NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINEFor generations, the Book of Genesis, included in its entirety here, has been treated by scholars as a collection of documents by various hands, expressing di fferent factional interests, with borrowings from other ancient literatures that mark the text as derivative. In other words, academic interpretation of Genesis has centered on the question of its basic coherence, just as fundamentalist interpretation has centered on the question of the appropriateness of reading it as literally true.Marilynne Robinsons approach is di fferent. Hers is one of an appreciation of Genesis for its greatness as literature, for its rich articulation and exploration of themes that resonate through the whole of Scripture. She illuminates the importance of the stories of, among others, Adam and Eve; Noah and his ark; the rivalry of Cain and Abel; and the father and son drama of Abraham and Isaac, to consider the profound meanings and promise of Gods enduring covenant with humankind. Her magisterial book radiates gratitude for the constancy and benevolence of Gods abiding faith in Creation.
