The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis

Rating:
Summary: An important book for our time.
Review: This book deals with many critical themes and ideas present in our human nature, our relationship to the Creator, our families, our community, the environment, as well as the basis for a life well lived. In an age where our knowledge is doubling every few years, and where we possess the means of our own self-destruction, this book is indeed an oasis of truth in a desert of ignorance. What we lack in our modern world is basic wisdom, and Leon Kass's seminal work is a basic building block for the beginning of a lifelong pursuit; the search for truth and wisdom.
