Genesis for the Modern Reader , by David Bruce Taylor, is an exposition of the whole text of Genesis aimed particularly at a non-specialist readership. The author detects throughout a combination of two authors, the Elohist and the Jahvist, the former being the earlier, the latter being responsible for the final shape of the book. He appears to have been a traveller who actually visited the many shrines whose origins he describes, and who seems to have gathered most of his own material in the course of those travels. It is suggested that such early narrative material need not, and probably should not, be treated as history. David Bruce Taylor has a thorough and detailed knowledge of the Bible in its entirety that enables him to quote extensively (and occasionally also from non-Biblical sources) to illustrate the meaning of all the various episodes. Where reference is made to other parts of the Bible, the passage in question is usually copied into the text rather than simply referred to. Genesis for the Modern Reader is intelligently, lucidly and attractively written. It will prove interesting not only to the generalist but also to undergraduates and anyone else who wants to know what the authors of Genesis really had in mind. Its scope is wide enough also to offer a useful introduction to biblical studies generally.
