Beskrivning

In this edited collection, Daniel B. Oden, J. David Stark, and the contributors wrestle with the complexities of unity.Discussing Genesis 1:1–11:9, the essays herein describe the hermeneutics of unity appeals from the Ancient Near East to the twenty-first century and in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The contributors particularly attend to these appeals’ hermeneutical dimensions, asking why and how the appeals connect themselves to Genesis and how they foster a vision of unity in the process. Despite and, indeed, because of their differences, these appeals show what is common among those who seek unity in dialogue with Genesis and the traditions surrounding it.

Genesis has long fascinated Christian (and Jewish and other) readers because of its vision of the universal human experience of creatureliness before God, and its instantiation of that universality in the particular stories of recognizable human individuals and families. The Bible's first book exudes the dynamic tension between unity and diversity that also characterizes the church's life. In this learned and beautifully lucid book, a team of skilled authors and editors explore the possibilities of healthy unity emerging from the encounter between committed readers and the ancient biblical text. They exhibit not only the richness and variety of Christian readings responding to Genesis 1-11, but also the possibilities such readings raise for the church's ongoing life as a body experiencing its unity from a common baptism while also seeking deeper and more visible expressions of that unity in its irreducible diversity. A highly stimulating book, much to be commended.
