In her new book, Reading Genesis, Pulitzer Prize winning author Marilynne Robinson reconsiders the foundational text of Genesis, and the profound meanings and promise of God’s enduring covenant with humanity. Whether on account of scholars debating its origins and its coherency or fundamentalists questioning the literal truth of its stories, the Book of Genesis is often overlooked as a piece of literature and for its exploration of themes that resonate throughout the Old and New Testaments. Robinson will discuss her latest work with author Ayana Mathis. This March celebrate Women's History Month with women making history.

Venue: Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, NYPL
