How did the Book of Genesis come to be? Jewish tradition has the Patriarchs studying scripture well before Sinai. What was that scripture? Seeds of Scripture presents a plausible answer to these intriguing questions. The novel opens with Jacob's arrival in Egypt at the behest of his son, Joseph. Pharaoh has expressed an interest in meeting Jacob and perhaps learning about the birthright, the hereditary collection of chronicles accumulated over decades by Jacob's family. The chronicles are in disarray, having been neglected for years. Waiting for his audience with Pharaoh, Jacob resolves to organize the scriptures. More significantly, he wishes to engage his grandchildren by reciting his story. Weaving together ancient wisdom and modern knowledge, Seeds of Scripture is not a re-imagination, but an expansion of the story of Jacob, an expansion that teases out the inner meaning of the biblical text. In his own words, Jacob recounts his arduous struggle to gain freedom for his family and establish the house of Israel. He passes on to posterity the words and scriptures that make up his spiritual legacy. With help from spirits of the past, he brings order to the ancient writings left to him by Abraham...the writings that eventually form the core of the Book of Genesis, the writings that are Seeds of Scripture.

Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
