“In Fan Fiction on the Book of Genesis: A Guide to Close Reading of and Creative Writing on the Bible, Sarah Rosenson asks deep and provocative questions of a rich selection of biblical texts. These questions model a deeply Jewish (midrashic) approach and they elevate intriguing aspects of human dynamics and encourage reflections on a range of aspects of human nature, emotions, and concerns. These questions also often elicit novel readings and interesting perspectives. Throughout, Rosenson engages productively with intriguing contemporary art, literature, and thought. This book will be of interest to anyone seeking to explore Genesis in ever deeper ways.” —Dean Bell, President and CEO, Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership “Genesis is the first and foundational book of the Bible, revered by both Jewish and Christian communities. Its stories impart ancient wisdom that remains relevant for today. In Fan Fiction on the Book of Genesis, Sarah Rosenson insightfully and creatively guides readers through the fascinating plots and characters of Genesis, stimulating their thinking and imaginations to recognize how Genesis impacts their lives today.” —Tremper Longman III, Distinguished Scholar and Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies Westmont College “Fan Fiction on Genesis takes you into the classroom of a master educator, Sarah Rosenson. As she unpacks some of the juiciest narratives from the Book of Genesis, she takes her students on a journey that includes multiple perspectives on each story: from classical paintings of the masters, to works of fiction, to insights from the fields of psychology, human development and family systems. Rosenson poses dozens of questions to the main characters of each story. Every question is an invitation for the reader to consider the moral implications of how Biblical personalities behaved. Rosenson’s fresh take on how to teach Bible is a joy to read and an important contribution to the field.” —Rabbi Sid Schwarz, author of Jewish Megatrends: Charting the Course of the American Jewish Future and Founding Rabbi of Adat Shalom Reconstructionist Congregation (Bethesda, MD)
