Summary: Great resource for other perspectives
Comment: This book is a great resource for more thought. Each of the ten chapters focuses on a prominent Genesis story and features a short essay by authors from one of the 3 "descendent" religions. Some of the more interesting essays included: Reverend Leighton's "The Legacy of Cain", "Arguing with God" by Rosann Catalano on the Sacrifice of Isaac, and Francisco Garcia-Treto, a Cuban-American minister, unique perspectives on the exile. Additionally there are short paragraphs by such authors as Augustine, Solzhenitsyn, and Ellie Wiesel. Finally short quotes provide gems for further meditation. I found this book useful for myself as an individual, but would be great for Bible discussion groups. Though familiar, these Genesis stories never fail to surprise.

Summary: Great for Sunday school class and discussion groups
Comment: I teach adult Sunday School and this book has been a valuable companion to the video tapes of the PBS show, Talking About Genesis. The material in the book is very balanced and well-presented. The suggested activities are varied and I'm sure you could find something that fits the make-up and personality of any adult class. Our class has really enjoyed it.
