--Publishers' Weekly "Spectacular readings ... highly recommended."
--Library Journal "Zornberg brings a brilliant mastery of psychology, literature--and Judaism--to bear on the Bible ... This is an extraordinary book."
--The Jerusalem Report In Genesis: The Beginning of Desire, Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg breathes new life into the ancient characters of the Bible through her lyrical prose and modern sensibilities. She brings biblical, midrashic, and literary sources together, weaving them into a seamless tapestry and illuminating the tensions that grip human beings as they search for an encounter with God. Zornberg's vibrant spirit and infectious enthusiasm for the Bible draw the reader more deeply into the search for meaning and the ways in which biblical tales intersect with our own lives. Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg was born in England to a rabbinic family and grew up in Glasgow, Scotland. She studied at Gateshead seminary and at Cambridge University, where she received her PhD. She has taught classes on Parshat HaShavua (the weekly Torah readings) to thousands of students in Israel at MaTaN, Jerusalem College for Adults, Midreshet Lindenbaum, and Pardes Institute, and lectures widely in the United States, Canada, and England. Zornberg is also the author of Particulars of Rapture: Reflections on Exodus (2001) and of The Murmuring Deep: Reflections on the Biblical Unconscious (2009).
