Title: Exploring the Genesis creation and fall stories
First published: 1992
Description: This book examines the fascinating way in which the Genesis creation and fall accounts arrived at their present form. In a clear and concise style, the author describes the religious and historical settings which prompted the 'Yahwist' and the 'Priestly' authors to write their distinctive accounts. More than simply a historical study, this book addresses concrete, practical questions about these foundational scripture stories. In so doing, Michael Perry offers a model for understanding their contemporary relevance for today's Christian believers. -from back cover.
