A brilliant blending of modern midrash and the life stages of
Erik Erikson's developmental psychology. How can the pain,
pleasures, and drama of the great characters in Genesis provide
insights for our own life journeys? Many of us feel alone in the
struggles and triumphs we face during different stages of our
lives. Norman Cohen shows how the pathways of our lives are quite
similar to those of Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and
Rebekkah, Jacob, Rachel and Leah, and Joseph. Voices from Genesis
brings to life the leading figures of Genesis to speak directly to
us, telling of their spiritual and emotional journeys, struggles,
frustrations, and confusions from birth to maturity to death as if
they were in conversation with us right now. Combining midrash
(finding contemporary meaning from ancient biblical texts) with the
developmental psychology insights of Erik Erikson, a
twentieth-century psychoanalytic legend, Cohen explores the great
characters of Genesis, letting the wisdom of the ancient text
resonate with our own modern lives."
