### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Creativity and Insight
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 12, 2018*

This book develops an insightful and intellectually satisfying discussion of Genesis, using insights from the midrash, psychoanalysis and literature. The depth of the discussion leads the reader far beyond Christian exegesis and demonstrates the playfulness and creativity of interpretation that frees biblical study from narrow-mindedness and literalism, making the text far more relevant to people living in the 21st century. As a protestant Christian, I would like to see this book used for study in the church I attend because I believe in would broaden everyone's experience of their religion and deepen their faith.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A challenging but illuminating book.
  

*by N***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 16, 2013*

I bought this book on a recommendation by a rabbi through an ecumenical reading group studying Genesis.  Two of us worked together to read it discussing it section by section.  We both learned a lot about midrash and how bits of Genesis have been evaluated over the centuries and found ourselves led to new appreciations of some of the major themes.  Not for the faint of heart but worth the work.  Academic in nature and psychological--reading it opens up new lines of thought about familiar material.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The definitive modern exegesis of Genesis
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 8, 2015*

This is the definitive contemporary exegesis of Genesis. Zornberg is unique in her ability to integrate the insights of Rabbinic Midrash, critical literary  analysis, and psychoanalytic Research. For me the result has been a plethora of 'I can't believe I never understood before' insights, that have blessed me with a deeper and more nuanced understanding of Genesis.
