I found this book by using the Lafayette Library Catalog in the Skillman library. I used the keyword “genesis” to find a whole listing of books related to Genesis. I then wrote down the call number and located the book in the upper part of the Skillman library.
The book I chose is called The Book of Genesis: Composition, Reception and Interpretation. I chose this book because I liked how the cover was plain and simple (just like me). The book contained 29 essays on a range of topics with four main section: 1.) General Topics, 2.) Issues in Interpretation, 3.) Textual Transmission and Reception History and 4.) Genesis and Theology. I thought this book related a lot to what we have been discussing in class with the story of Genesis and the Interpreters idea of what the different stories in Genesis mean. There were parts of the book that were in Hebrew and in front of the book there were pages with Hebrew Abbreviations of words. It caught my eye and looked interesting.
