Subject: Iain Provan here offers readers a compact, up-to-date, and student-friendly introduction to the book of Genesis, focusing on its structure, content, theological concerns, key interpretive debates, and historical reception. Drawing on a range of methodological approaches (author-, text-, and reader-centered) as complementary rather than mutually exclusive ways of understanding, Discovering Genesis encourages students to dig deeply into the theological and historical questions raised by the text. It provides a critical assessment of key interpreters and interpretive debates, focusing especially on the reception history of the biblical text, a subject of growing interest to students and scholars of the Bible. https://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Genesis-Interpretation-Reception-Biblical/dp/0802872379/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9780802872371&qid=1594673198&sr=8-1
