In the Beginning: A New Interpretation of Genesis Book

Karen Armstrong makes reading the Bible a smooth and liberating experience.

    "KAREN ARMSTRONG IS A GENIUS."
    --A. N. Wilson

    As the foundation stone of the Jewish and Christian scriptures, The Book of Genesis unfolds some of the most arresting stories of world literature--the Creation; Adam and Eve; Cain and Abel; the sacrifice of Isaac. Yet the meaning of Genesis remains enigmatic. In this fascinating volume, Karen Armstrong, author of the highly acclaimed bestseller A History of God, brilliantly illuminates the mysteries and profundities of this mystifying work.

    "A lyrical chronicle of one woman's wrestling with Genesis that can serve as a guide to others . . . As notable for its scholarship as it is for its honesty and vulnerability."
    --Publishers Weekly

    "Armstrong can simplify complex ideas, but she is never simplistic."
    --The New York Times Book Review
