A Historical-Materialist Reading of Genesis 1-4

This book offers a historical-materialist reading of the opening chapters of the book of Genesis, in an attempt to revive their potential to engage people in truthful discussions about power and pleasure in two historical settings: Jerusalem in the 5th-4th centuries BCE and Brazil in the early colonial period (16th century CE).
