A little light birthday reading: Bonhoeffer’s “Creation and Fall: A Theological Interpretation of Genesis 1-3” and “Temptation”. Just over 100 pages. Glad I found it on the free table when I worked at a theological library years ago! ⚓️
His discussion of v. 1, “In the beginning” is so deeply philosophical that it kinda hurts in the best way?? “No question can penetrate God creating because it is impossible to go behind the beginning” (p. 17). All to say this reading is anything but light.
