Some of what was said was not “new” for those who have taken any classes on Hebrew text, but some was quite personal and expressive; allowing for both room to deliberate, and even disagree (especially on the repetitive commentary of evil, intention, and outcomes of actions done by and in the name of God (find me debating the Calvin theology I read in this book)) . But this is the fundamental point - it is not meant to be a book for a class on theological studies, so don’t read it like one.

I think the book could have been bolstered by breaking up content into chapters - the one long narrative is sometimes dull and lengthy. But overall, the story about the stories ends with a brain-racking conclusion of mercy, repentance, a corrected course, and mistaken but providential humanness.

I'm glad I finished this book. It doesn't usually take me 2 weeks to read a book. It is meaty and takes all your concentration to understand some of her discussions on religion. I loved her thoughts on the people. I have read Genesis several times, but Robinson opened my eyes to the relationship between God and man.
I can't wait to start the Gilead series.
