A Critical Theology of Genesis

This alternative reading of Genesis offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between humanity and God, emphasizing a softer, less fear-driven connection. Itzhak Benyamini analyzes biblical figures like Adam, Noah, and Abraham, questioning their faith and the demands placed upon them. By challenging traditional notions of blind faith, the work proposes a new ethical framework rooted in family continuity and resilience, contrasting with Kierkegaard's views. This commentary serves as a platform for exploring a critical theology that prioritizes everyday moral challenges over absolute divine authority.
