Since the Beginning

Few passages in the Hebrew Bible have been subject to more scrutiny than
Genesis 1 and 2. In this volume, a diverse international team of experts guides
readers through interpretations of the Genesis creation stories throughout
history, inviting readers to consider perspectives from the earliest times to
the present.
Written with the capabilities and needs of students in mind, this book offers
an accurate description of how Genesis 1 and 2 have been read through the
centuries and explains each interpretive approach in its own terms. Each
chapter includes sidebars and suggestions for further reading. Since the
Beginning is well suited for courses on the Old Testament, Genesis and
creation, the history of interpretation, and science and religion. It will also
appeal to teachers, pastors, and others following the creation debates and
discussions.
