About this audiobook
Why does Genesis tell the story of creation twice? In this English audiobook, Dror Laniado explores Genesis 1-2 through Jewish interpretation, close reading, and philosophical reflection. From light and Sabbath to the garden and companionship, two portraits of creation open one enduring question: what does it mean to be human? The journey considers dignity, responsibility, freedom, and the limits of power, welcoming listeners of any background. Biblical passages alternate with commentary that distinguishes the text, traditional interpretations, and personal reflection. AI narration pairs a dedicated biblical narrator with a digital replica of Dror Laniado's voice. Biblical readings use the Jewish Publication Society translation of 1917.
