What
does
it
mean
to
be
a
good
reader
of
Genesis
1-11?
What
does
it
mean
to
take
these
ancient
stories
seriously
and
how
does
that
relate
to
taking
them
literally?
Can
we
even
take
any
of
this
material
seriously?Reading
Genesis
Well
answers
these
questions
and
more,
promoting
a
responsible
conversation
about
how
science
and
biblical
faith
relate
by
developing
a
rigorous
approach
to
interpreting
the
Bible,
especially
those
texts
that
come
into
play
in
science
and
faith
discussions.
This
unique
approach
connects
the
ancient
writings
of
Genesis
1-11
with
modern
science
in
an
honest
and
informed
way.Old
Testament
scholar
C.
John
Collins
appropriates
literary
and
linguistic
insights
from
C.
S.
Lewis
and
builds
on
them
using
ideas
from
modern
linguistics,
such
as
lexical
semantics,
discourse
analysis,
and
sociolinguistics.
This
study
helps
readers
to
evaluate
to
what
extent
it
is
proper
to
say
that
the
Bible
writers
held
a
"primitive"
picture
of
the
world,
and
what
function
their
portrayal
of
the
world
and
its
contents
had
in
shaping
the community.
