One of Barack Obamaâs Book Picks of Summer 2024
One of our greatest novelists and thinkers presents a radiant, thrilling interpretation of the book of Genesis.
For generations, the book of Genesis has been treated by scholars as a collection of documents, by various hands, expressing different 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 coherency, just as fundamentalist interpretation has centered on the question of the appropriateness of reading it as literally true.
Both of these approaches preclude an appreciation of its greatness as literature, its rich articulation and exploration of themes that resonate through the whole of Scripture. Marilynne Robinsonâs Reading Genesis is a powerful consideration of the profound meanings and promise of Godâs enduring covenant with man. This magisterial book radiates gratitude for the constancy and benevolence of Godâs abiding faith in Creation.
