Genesis 1-4
C John CollinsPaperback 2006-03-21
Much controversy surrounds the opening chapters of Genesis. They are " 'front-loaded' with all manner of vital topics," says C. John Collins, "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 intertestamental writers have used Genesis 1-4, and reflects on how these chapters shape a Christian worldview today.
