Reviews
Too often, scholars reflect on the subject of evil from theological or apologetic viewpoints. In contrast, Faro takes a step back and argues that the investigation should naturally begin when evil began, in the narrative plot of Genesis. Employing lexical-literary, contextual, and theological analysis, she provides the advanced student with a fresh approach on the study of good and evil and offers fresh insights for our understanding of evil. --Joseph Tan, dean, School of Theology, TSA College, Singapore Dr. Faro provides a thorough study on evil in Genesis that doesn't only focus on isolated words, sentences, or individual pericopes. Her contextual, lexical-literary approach offers helpful insights and interesting connections between evil, sight, perspective, and goodness. Definitely a must read for those who are interested in these concepts! --May Young, associate professor of biblical studies, Taylor University Dr. Ingrid Faro offers us a treasure trove of insight into evil in Genesis! Faro lays the essential groundwork for a biblical theology of good and evil and does not shy away from the ethical and theological implications of her study. From insight into how evil correlates with perception and how prominent good and evil are across Genesis, I had many moments of illumination while reading this volume. Highly recommended! --Andrew T. Abernethy, associate professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College Dr. Faro's study on evil is timely and relevant. Her study is a heuristic model of the integration of linguistics, exegesis, intertextual connections, and theological reflections. The conclusions are in keeping with St. Augustine's reflections on justice and evil, but her approach has encouraged her to dwell in the biblical text. She is a textualist and originalist par excellence. --Willem A. VanGemeren, professor emeritus of Old Testament and Semitic languages, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
