Okay, friends, what are your top recommendations for resources on Genesis 1-11. They could be commentaries on all of Genesis, books or articles on specific topics of that portion, or any other things that come to your mind.
Doing some work on ministry and metaphor, specifically on how our conception of what it means to be a pastor is shaped predominantly by metaphors of shepherding that may unintentionally exclude other metaphors for ministry. Any recommendations of works to consult on this?
