The Bible is as strange as it is surprising. Even its most well-known stories can catch us off guard, revealing things about God and about ourselves that we had not seen before. Nowhere is this more true than with the book of Genesis. Its iconic accounts of shepherds and nomads, apple-eaters and ark-builders, sharpen our view of human life and the God who works in the midst of it. With empathy and imagination, "Eden and Afterward" traces the first notes of the song of grace which plays throughout the entire Bible.
Eden and Afterward: A Mockingbird Guide to Genesis Reviews
-
As usual, those at Mockingbird give a fresh perspective for me at the Bible's familiar stories. I was especially compelled with observations on Joseph, given that my background had always said he was innocent, which this book helped show how needy he was for reconciliation and grace as well.

Well worth your time
Genesis, while deeply theological, is a story. This book does a great job telling the story of God and humankind. It takes you past simple Sunday school perceptions and deeper into the complexities of the stories.
