Deuteronomy 32:47 says the Pentateuch should not be 'an empty
matter.' This new anthology from Beth Kissileff fills Genesis with
meaning, gathering intellectuals and thinkers who use their
professional knowledge to illuminate the Biblical text. These
writers use insights from psychology, law, political science,
literature, and other scholarly fields, to create an original
constellation of modern Biblical readings, and receptions of
Genesis: A scientist of appetite on Eve's eating behavior; law
professors on contracts in Genesis, and on collective punishment;
an anthropologist on the nature of human strife in the Cain and
Abel story; political scientists on the nature of Biblical games,
Abraham's resistance, and collective action. The highly
distinguished contributors include Alan Dershowitz and Ruth
Westheimer, the novelists Rebecca Newberger Goldstein and Dara
Horn, critics Ilan Stavans and Sander Gilman, historian Russell
Jacoby, poets Alicia Suskin Ostriker and Jacqueline Osherow, and
food writer Joan Nathan.
