Lectura del Génesis

Goodness is one of the omnipresent themes in Marilynne Robinson's work. In "Reading Genesis", she seeks an even deeper understanding of it, one that transcends any particular faith tradition, through the analysis of one of the foundational texts of Western culture. The author moves through the biblical text with extraordinary sensitivity and wisdom, reflecting on story after story while extracting universal themes and truths… Creation, Adam and Eve, the expulsion from paradise, Cain and Abel, Noah's ark and the Great Flood, the Tower of Babel, Abraham and Sarah, the sacrifice of Isaac, Sodom and Gomorrah, the story of Rachel and Leah, Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brother, so many stories that we all know or think we know come to life anew in Marilynne Robinson's meticulous analysis and appear enriched and full of significant details that profoundly alter our understanding of the text.
