What a joy to host Liz Charlotte Grant (and read her book)! One of the things I have enjoyed so much in studying the bible is taking in different interpretive perspectives. Liz is a creative writer and someone who became curious about biblical interpretations from theologians she had not read or studied early in her faith journey. This book brings in Jewish and liberation interpretations, asks beautiful questions, provides imaginative and gorgeous metaphors, and invites us to see familiar texts in unfamiliar ways (one of my favorite pastimes!).
