What does it mean to be a good reader of Genesis 1-11? What does it
mean to take these ancient stories seriously and how does that
relate to taking them literally? Can we even take any of this
material seriously? Reading Genesis Well answers these questions
and more, promoting a responsible conversation about how science
and biblical faith relate by developing a rigorous approach to
interpreting the Bible, especially those texts that come into play
in science and faith discussions. This unique approach connects the
ancient writings of Genesis 1-11 with modern science in an honest
and informed way. Old Testament scholar C. John Collins
appropriates literary and linguistic insights from C. S. Lewis and
builds on them using ideas from modern linguistics, such as lexical
semantics, discourse analysis, and sociolinguistics. This study
helps readers to evaluate to what extent it is proper to say that
the Bible writers held a "primitive" picture of the world, and what
function their portrayal of the world and its contents had in
shaping the community.
