The Fall Reconsidered

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“By tracing the early history of the interpretation of the sin narratives of Adam-Eve and Cain-Abel, Igal German offers a valuable resource not only for biblical studies but also for historical theology (specifically the 'fall' and 'original sin'). And by having the rare insight to include Genesis 4 in his exegetical and historical analysis, Dr. German cracks a door open for pondering how differently the likes of St. Paul and St. Augustine might have articulated the doctrine of sin. For biblical studies, Igal helps round out the primeval notion of sin in Genesis 3 and 4, whereas for theologians and historians of early biblical exegesis, he offers a helpful and fascinating overview of how the stories of defiance against God in Eden and outside of it were understood at an early time of profound influence.”

What was the Sin of Sodom: Homosexuality, Inhospitality, or Something Else?

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this thorough treatment of biblical and other Sodom texts, Peterson makes a vital contribution to the current debate about the Bible and same-sex sex. The hot-button issue is never far removed from what otherwise could on its own be merely 'dry' exegesis, making the book an interesting and important read. This is good, careful, indispensable scholarship from a good mind, and a brave one at that. Sodom is back on the docket.”
