Negative Positive
Title: Recommended as a reference book
Review: Eve & Adam: Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Readings on Genesis and Gender by Linda S. Schearing (Editor), Valarie H. Ziegler (Editor), Kristen E. Kvam (Editor) is, indeed, a collection of proses and commentaries on Genesis and Gender. So if you are looking for a relaxing yet informative book about Adam and Eve (sorry! "Eve and Adam") to read on the beach or while visiting your in-laws, do not consider this book.This is a serious, academic (to the point of near boredom!) book that demonstrates "the remarkable hold the story of Eve and Adam has on the Western imagination".So why four stars? I gave four stars because the book did not meet my objective-a relaxing read on Adam and Eve. Why not three star then? I did not give a three star rating because the book provided some serious information about the sad nature of gender discrimination.Recommended as a good reference.
