Inhaltsangabe

The modern phenomenon of fan fiction involves readers writing creative pieces that answer questions left open in favorite works of literature.  This also describes the ancient tradition of midrash, where readers write stories filling in gaps in the Bible.  

Fan Fiction on the Book of Genesis discusses the questions left open in the first book of the Bible, and includes questions for the characters in the stories, which can serve as prompts for conversations or creative writing.  It is perfect for anyone interested in reading Bible stories through a new and creative lens, people who enjoy creative writing and want to challenge themselves to write fan fiction/midrash on the Bible, and people who teach classes on the Bible and want ideas for discussion topics and questions.
