The Many Faces of Adam and Eve

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Batto offers a luscious, patient, thick read of the Adam and Eve story. . . . This is an ambitious read, every bit a match for the Bible’s most iconic narrative. Tracing the story as it travels through time . . . furnishes Batto with a kaleidoscope of angles from which to appreciate afresh aspects of the old, primordial story. . . . Batto’s finest accomplishment is the ever-richer reading of the original Genesis story that emerges in the process.”
