Product Description
For thousands of years, rabbis, priests and scholars have pondered, discussed and argued the exact meaning of the Torah. Modern translations abound, all seeking to peel away the layers from the fruit of Genesis, further revealing its core. In Genesis: A Poetic Retelling, Steve Herman squeezes the first book of Moses and fills our cup with the sweetest of juices. He has translated Genesis, verse by verse, from English into English, masterfully capturing the story and our imagination. Along the way, he reveals an intimacy and deep poetry that has eluded most scholars, and opens this most mysterious of books to everyone. His simple yet elegant writing enables readers to easily understand what has captured the hearts and minds of Jews, Christians, Muslims, scholars and seekers for countless generations.
