reading Genesis

I am currently participating in two different projects that involve me reading the book of Genesis (in part or as a whole), and I plan on posting some of my thoughts on that text here on Verily Verily in the coming weeks. This post is merely meant as a disclaimer: My reading and comments on Genesis are those of an amateur who is thinking out loud and exploring any thoughts that happen to present themselves, often without any idea how fruitful said thoughts will ultimately be. Consider this your warning. And I would welcome any comments and feedback from interested and, especially, better informed readers.
