Bad Parents: Reflections On Genesis By: Spencer Bagwell An illuminating and nuanced deep dive into the first, and possibly most well-known, book of the Bible, Bad Parents: Reflections on Genesis invites us to question how both modern Christian Churches and popular culture present a version so at odds with the words as written. Full of flawed and often vindictive characters, including a wrathful and unforgiving God, how is Genesis supposed to be interpreted? How are present-day Christians to apply these stories to their own faith? Bad Parents will guide the reader on a thought-provoking journey through the pages of Genesis, and suggest how we might use it in our own lives.
