Reading Genesis | Marilynne Robinson

Pickpick

This is beautiful, thoughtful & reflective—just what I‘d expect from Marilynne Robinson! I read it slowly, and found myself referencing it frequently in conversations. I lead an Education for Ministry (EfM) group at my church, and year after year my first year participants have such a hard time with reading the Hebrew Bible—not only because it‘s long & often dry, but because there‘s so much that‘s hard to stomach: patriarchy, violence, legalism.⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) I found this to offer a refreshing perspective on Genesis—it doesn‘t gloss over the parts that are so difficult, but it brings forward the way God places a high value on human life and human thriving. She points out how Genesis acknowledges the complexity of the problem of evil, and wrestles with it seriously rather than reducing it to supposedly-easy answers. Especially meaningful for me were her thoughts on God‘s covenant with Abraham⤵️ 1mo
BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …and Jacob, and the way she characterizes God‘s relationship with humanity as unique among other ancient near eastern religions and cultures of the time. (This was my September #BookSpin, but I took my time and didn‘t finish reading it until November!) @TheAromaofBooks 1mo
TheAromaofBooks This sounds so interesting!!! 1mo
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks It really is! I don't agree with all of her interpretations, but overall, her approach is so thought-provoking. This really enriched my perspective on Genesis. 1mo

I personally would not choose to read this book in my classroom, however some of my students' families may choose to read this book at home!

“Animals of the Bible “by Dorothy P. Lathrop (1937) is designed to bring the biblical narrative of “The Story of the Animals Saved in the Ark“ closer to young readers. Through detailed black-and-white illustrations of animals and carefully selected Bible quotes, this book not only educates but also immerses children in the culture.

I'm not sure where this book could be used in a school, especially because I feel like parents may have a problem with a religious book being in the classroom. I do think the art style would be very cool for children to see!

Animals of the Bible by Dorothy P. Lathrop is a clear Caldecott winner! The illustration style is black and white only, with what looks like pencil stippling. This art style will be very cool for young children to see. This book explores animals spoken of in the Christian bible.
