Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Theodore Hiebert writes about biblical views of identity and difference and about biblical perspectives on the environment. His most recent book, "The Beginning of Difference," focusing on the book of Genesis, challenges exclusivist interpretations and reveals a text that embraces and celebrates ethnic identities and differences. His previous book, "The Yahwist's Landscape," challenges claims that the Bible privileges humans and separates them from nature and shows how biblical religion is grounded in the natural world. Hiebert was an editor and translator for the Common English Bible and wrote the notes to Genesis for the "CEB Study Bible" and the "New Interpreter's Study Bible." He is Francis A McGaw Professor of Old Testament Emeritus at McCormick Theological Seminary and lives in Homewood, IL.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book is great for anyone who wants to see what the bible ...
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2016
Verified Purchase
I read this book for my theology class. Hiebert provides a fascinating point of view with heavy evidence to back his claims. His central point is that ancient Israelites were primarily farmers, not nomadic pastoralists. Very clearly written and held my interest. The book is great for anyone who wants to see what the bible says, specifically the Yahwist author, about the environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reevaluation of J strand’s perspective!
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2015
Verified Purchase
Hiebert makes a strong case for his claim (that the J strand is from the perspective of the natural world, not human history). He also does an excellent job of pointing out that the Priestly creation story perspective is over emphasized. I would note that to make sense of this book one should be familiar with the theories of Israel’s formation and the strands in the Torah/ Pentateuch.
