Modern biblical scholarship has only slowly been making headway against the still widespread fundamentalism of the past generations. But the men who reworked the superstitious and animistic fables that form the raw material of the creation account in Genesis were really quite sophisticated, almost scientific demythologizers, who were "making sport of the saving power of snakes and trees." With all the resources of recent biblical scholarship, Père Daniélou makes this convincingly clear in his usual brilliant fashion. He shows that these first chapters are a great theological enterprise which examines human weakness and sinfulness in depth and looks death in the face. taking its full meaning from its end rather than its beginning-Jesus Christ, the Lord of the new creation.
