Genesis is a true classic in the canon of Western Civilization. The art and literature of our culture are infused with its thought and images. At the university or in adult education, a class on Genesis is always a lively experience. In American life and culture, an author such as Mark Twain was continually fascinated with religious concepts raised for him by Genesis. As we enter the twenty-first century, we are fortunate, because we now know more about the Mediterranean world, its languages, and its thought that produce such a book. In this new translation of Genesis, the reader will enjoy these ancient stories as they were originally enjoyed. In our older translations, these stories are so covered with tranditional patina that they can not be understood. Here these gems have been cleaned, and they sparkle with the insight and purpose of a great royal epic. Genesis will have its day.
