- Summary:
- In Reading the Fractures of Genesis, David M. Carr shows how understanding the history of the formation of the book of Genesis impacts a reading of the book's final form. According to Carr, a clear understanding of Genesis can be obtained only when one takes seriously its complex and fractured nature, a multivoiced text that developed over many centuries. Drawing on the best in European and North American scholarship to present this new approach to Genesis, he produces a provocative interpretation that helps to bridge the widening gap between opposing methodological camps in the study of Genesis.
