What is In the Beginning : A New Interpretation of Genesis about?
“Karen Armstrong is a genius.”—A. N. WilsonAs the foundation stone of the Jewish and Christian scriptures, The Book of Genesis unfolds some of the most arresting stories of world literature—the Creation; Adam and Eve; Cain and Abel; the sacrifice of Isaac. Yet the meaning of Genesis remains enigmatic. In this fascinating volume, Karen Armstrong, author of the highly acclaimed bestseller A History of God, brilliantly illuminates the mysteries and profundities of this mystifying work.BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Karen Armstrong's Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life.“A lyrical chronicle of one woman's wrestling with Genesis that can serve as a guide to others... As notable for its scholarship as it is for its honesty and vulnerability.”—Publishers Weekly“Armstrong can simplify complex ideas, but she is never simplistic.”—The New York Times Book Review
