Review

"...Dershowitz has written a thoughtful, provocative book about the violence and trickery that run through the Book of Genesis."

"the grandiosity and complexity of [his] questions no doubt please Alan Deshowitz the amateur exegete. but the book succeeds because Professor Dershowitz the teacher has, despite his own bluster, made the Jewish project of biblical midrash accessible, relevant, and downright fun."

First line

Would you give a young person a book whose heroes cheat, lie, steal, murder and get away with it?

Publisher's note

Exploring the influence of the biblical Book of Genesis on the evolution of modern concepts of justice, the best-selling author of Chutzpah examines ten key narratives--from Adam and Eve and the flood to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah--that gave rise to the Ten Commandments and helped shape our modern legal system. Reprint.

Annotation

A longtime faculty member of Harvard Law School, Alan Dershowitz dissects the immoral behavior exhibited in the book of Genesis and explains how it led to the 10 Commandments and common law justice.
