Much controversy surrounds the opening chapters of Genesis. They are front-loaded with all manner of vital topics--such as God's work of creating the world and mankind; what it means to be human; why our present experience is so different from what we find in Genesis 2; how we come to know God and to be sure of his love. Collins employs a literary-theological method informed by contemporary discourse analysis in order to read passages as coherent wholes.

Much controversy surrounds the opening chapters of Genesis. They are front-loaded with all manner of vital topics--such as God's work of creating the world and mankind; what it means to be human; why our present experience is so different from what we find in Genesis 2; how we come to know God and to be sure of his love. Collins employs a literary-theological method informed by contemporary discourse analysis in order to read passages as coherent wholes. He shows how later biblical and inter-testamental writers have used Genesis 1-4 and reflects on how these chapters shape a Christian worldview today.

See my full review at Spoiled Milks (June 5, 2023).
I really appreciated this book. It isnâ��t always an easy read, as Collins tries to be clear and specific where needed, which can make reading feel a bit clunky. This is good to read along with Collinsâ�� newer Reading Genesis Well (which Iâ��ve also reviewed). Aside from the chapters of commentary on Genesis 1â�"4, much of the rest of the book is similar to what I read in Reading Genesis Well. That doesnâ��t mean it is repeated or just paraphrased in different words. But having read his more mature RGW helped me understand this book with greater clarity. Buy both, read both. Learn how the Bible speaks truthfully even if itâ��s not in ways that you are used to hearing.
I received this book free from P&R Publishing. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
