Bergant, one of today's most highly regarded Catholic Scripture scholars, turns her attention to the book of Genesis, highlighting issues of gender, social status, economic class, and integrity of creation. In this important new commentary, Bergant explores the biblical text but also points out some of the social biases of the original community, an awareness that is crucial for an adequate understanding of the text. She offers a wealth of insights into this richly theological narrative. (back cover).
