Genesis According to Michelangelo collects the best of Dr. Aaron Lichtenstein’s writings on the Bible, Jewish philosophy, poetry, pedagogy, the Noahide code, the ancient Near East, and a variety of other topics. In this volume, Dr. Lichtenstein addresses questions including: • How can the Sistine Chapel be understood as an instance of biblical interpretation? • What did rabbinic metaphysics consist of? • Did the French Revolution have biblical origins? • How can comparing the Cyrus Cylinder to the Bible help us understand the book of Isaiah? • What can we do to better understand the book of Job? • What is it like to live as a righteous gentile practicing the seven Noahide laws? • Is the Haggadah an exercise in interpretation or pedagogy?
