Precisely the right sort of book for shaking you out of your evangelical presuppositions without assaulting your orthodoxy. Fr. Capon unpacks the first three chapters of Genesis, gores lots of Sacred Bulls, and honors the Gospel and Christ without ever leaving the bounds or orthodox Christian belief. One of the more memorable and worthwhile books I own. Highly recommended. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
The creation story stands as one of the most famous and familiar in Scripture. But, says best-selling author Robert Farrar Capon, most of us misconstrue it. The reason? We have fallen into the habit of reading Genesis the way we read all of Scripture -- as a manual of religious instructions. To break this (bad) habit, Capon here offers a whimsical yet wonderfully fruitful approach -- "watching" the Bible as a historical movie whose director is God. Though Capon does have fun with this concept, he's very serious about its liberating effects. -When you watch a movie, he says, -you never ask questions about whether the events depicted actually happened. Instead, you accept the history the director shows you on the screen. And, as Capon points out, we typically suspend judgment of a film until we've seen all of it, letting later scenes inform and enrich earlier ones. That, he says, is exactly how we need to see Genesis -- as just the beginning of the whole movie of Scripture. Using this novel approach in "Genesis, the Movie," Capon develops a commentary of theological scope and depth on the first three chapters of Genesis. He gives every verse as it appears in the Hebrew, the Septuagint, and the Vulgate, as well as in the KJV, RSV, and NRSV versions of the Bible. Making extensive use of Augustine's commentary on Genesis in his "Confessions" and "De Genesi ad Litteram," Capon also shows the interpretive freedom with which the church's fathers and mothers approached Scripture. This book is as much Capon the charming writer-teacher as it is Capon the scholar, characterized as it is by the conversational, entertaining style for which Capon is so well known. Enriched by Capon'ssignature wit, imaginative wisdom, and broad-ranging engagement of saints, poets, and religious thinkers across the centuries, "Genesis, the Movie" presents a remarkable new look at Scripture that will delight and challenge its many Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
