Book Information

• This book is in under copyright. Forgotten Classics has been granted the non-exclusive right to read Robert Alter's translation of Genesis and his commentary. This book is published by WW Norton. Please contact Mr. Alter or his agent for any permissions. Many thanks to Robert Alter and Georges Borchardt for their graciousness in allowing us to read this book.
  
• If you are enjoying this reading, please buy Genesis. It comes to life even more when you are able to see and ponder the words.
  
• Story rating: R for adult situations and commentary.
• I will do my best to properly pronounce any Hebrew words but cannot promise accuracy. Biblical words may be pronounced using this guide.
  

Podcast Highlight

• FilmNerds: zombies series (UPDATE: except for the last episode in that series, Zombies and Religion which has some very inaccurate information about Catholicism in the beginning. Which, for me, put their comments about Islam in question as well. The last 10-15 minutes seemed solid as far as I could tell with my limited knowledge of Eastern religions.)
