More about the book

The book presents a compelling argument that Genesis should be viewed as legal instruction for Israel, rather than just a historical preface. Peterson suggests that the narratives within Genesis function as case law, illustrating key laws found in the Pentateuch. This perspective reveals the rhetorical strategies employed by the biblical authors and reinterprets the purpose behind specific stories, highlighting their significance in conveying legal principles and moral lessons for the Israelite community.
