Jared Byas and I have just finished work on an e-book, Genesis for Normal People: A Guide to the Most Controversial, Misunderstood, and Abused Book of the Bible.
It is being published by Patheos Press and should be out in a few weeks. I will update as soon as I hear more.
The book is geared toward those with little background in reading Genesis or the Bible. Our focus is guiding readers to look at Genesis through ancient eyes, and so to ask ancient questions of the story–the questions Genesis is prepared to answer.
