IN THE BEGINNING A NEW INTERPRETATION OF GENESIS PB B FORMAT – KAREN ARMSTRONG

The foundation stone of Jewish and Christian scriptures, the power of the Book of Genesis lies in its stories – Creation, the Fall, Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, Jacob and Joseph. These ancient tales illuminate some of our most enduring and profound problems: cowardice, the struggle with evil, the difficulty of facing past mistakes, achieving a true understanding of our innermost selves. Karen Armstrong traces the themes and meanings of these stories, examining what they can still tell us about the human quest for meaning.
