Reviews

""Levy combines scholarship in several disciplines, close reading of one of the world’s most influential texts, and a hermeneutical wisdom that brilliantly illuminates the relevance of that text to the twenty-first century. The result is both convincing and original—not least in the illumination given by ancient history, archaeology, and rabbinic midrashic interpretation. This is Genesis for our time, relating not only to challenges such as environmental emergency, global inequality, mass migration, and widespread state coercion, but also to the need for deep spiritual and ethical resources in responding to them."" - David F. Ford OBE, Regius Professor of Divinity Emeritus, University of Cambridge
