description: This exploration of Hebrew myths &amp; the book of Genesis resulted from a collaboration between a scholar raised as a strict Protestant &amp; another raised as a strict Jew. It goes beyond Christian biblical &amp; Judaic myth &amp; incorporates midrashes, folk tales, apocryphal texts &amp; other obscure sources to extend &amp; complete the stories. An intriguing view of the suppressed &amp; censored pre-biblical accounts is the result, along with a rich sense of a culture consisting of oral &amp; literary traditions, where the spiritual is rooted in landscape &amp; history.
