(\u003ci\u003eJewish Exponent\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince its publication in 1995, \u003ci\u003eThe Beginning of Desire\u003c\/i\u003e has opened new pathways in the reading of the Bible. Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg’s innovative use of midrash, literature, philosophy, and psychoanalysis draws deeply upon the familiar biblical narratives to produce interpretations that are at once startlingly beautiful and completely authentic. Illuminating the tensions that grip human beings as they search for an encounter with God, Zornberg gives us a brilliant analysis of the stories of Adam and Eve; Noah; Abraham and Sarah; Isaac and Rebecca; Jacob, Rachel, and Leah; and Joseph and his brothers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49944485036375,"sku":"9780805212396","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780805212396.jpg?v=1738810457","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-beginning-of-desire-9780805212396","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
