Reading Genesis Well

Science & Faith

“As a religious Jew, I found Jack Collins’s Reading Genesis Well to be a highly erudite and fascinating exposition by a religious Christian of the foundational stories of Genesis 1–11. The author is a superior scholar—thoughtful, cautious, measured, and ethically sensitive. I appreciated very much the wealth of information on Christian perceptions of Genesis. It was also encouraging to learn that, both in terms of his methodology of analysis and religious understanding, a considerable fortuitous overlap exists between Christian and Jewish comprehensions. For all the reasons mentioned above, I heartily recommend the book.”
