The Beginning of Wisdom

Reading Genesis

Beschreibung

Examining Genesis in a philosophical light, this book presents it as the enduring story of humanity itself. It contains insights about human nature that "rival anything produced by the great philosophers." It explores the struggles in Genesis to launch a new way of life that addresses mankind's morally ambiguous nature by promoting righteousness.
