By analyzing the biblical text in light of its original context and recipients, Old Testament scholar Richard Hess explores the true meaning of Genesis 1-3. He examines the elegant wordplay within the Creation narratives that indicates a harmony within the relationship between God and humankind, man and woman, and humans and the rest of creation.
