Part one. The pre-history : the sovereign call of God (Genesis 1:1-11:29) -- Part two. The Abraham narrative : the embraced call of God (Genesis 11:30-25:18) -- Part three. The Jacob narrative : the conflicted call of God (Genesis 25:19-36:43) -- Part four. The Joseph narrative : the hidden call of God (Genesis 37:1-50:26).
Summary: In his clear and readable style Walter Brueggemann presents Genesis as a single book set within the context of the whole of biblical revelation. He sees his task as bringing the text close to the faith and ministry of the church. He interprets Genesis as a proclamation of God's decisive dealing with creation rather than as history of myth. Brueggemann's impressive perspective illuminates the study of the first book of the Bible.
