Key item features

Publishers Weekly,Jacob was a trickster. Abraham lied and questioned God. Joseph was a braggart. These patriarchs of the biblical book of Genesis were certainly flawed, but in Primeval Saints: Studies in the Patriarchs of Genesis, James Jordan argues that they are "saints" nonetheless particularly in comparison to the heroes of pagan literature. Jordan's writing tends toward the didactic, but the thesis is interesting and fresh. (Dec.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

About this item

Product details

Uncommonly organic. Jordan reveals the fascinating weave of lives that bind together the heroes and villains of Genesis. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and others come to flesh and blood in ways that undo our common images. Jordan inverts so many of the traditional negative judgments against the patriarchs that they stand forth as heroes rather than scoundrels. Throughout, Jordan draws a picture of how Christian culture should be imagined and lived in our own day, from creativity and work to tyranny and freedom. You will never be able to read Genesis in the same boring way again. James B. Jordan, Th.M, D. Litt., is author of several books, including Creation in Six Days: A Defense of the Traditional Reading of Genesis One.
