Inhaltsangabe

Adam and Eve.We think we know what happened. Now Adam breaks his silence.Oren's arrogance and position have afforded him many acquaintances and no friends. He inherited the renowned scribal school in Susa from his father-an emotionally distant scholar.Adam has sought Oren out. He believes Oren has the skill to help untangle the story from his memory. A skeptical Oren promises his pen, but not his silence. At his home by the sea Adam speaks once and for all of what happened, unpacking the great burden of guilt and regret he carries. Oren comes to see all he and Adam share - lost love, estranged sons, memories that must be confronted. And a Maker who knows no distance.As Adam grows ill, Oren rushes to capture the final details of the story, a story only he will now hold-the story of the origin of all mankind."Whoever thought biblical fiction lacked creativity has not read The Confessions of Adam.~DiAnn Mills, Best Selling Author, newest release "Fatal Strike." "The Confessions of Adam" is thought-provoking exploration of the possibilities-oh, the possibilities!--of what is left unsaid in the life of Adam."~Cynthia Ruchti, Best Selling Author of "Miles From Where We Started"

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dave came to belief as a child and grew up steeped in biblical narratives. His mother read to him and his father was a pastor as well as a student of both theology and biblical languages.Growing up, Dave often asked his father to read aloud the scriptures in their original Hebrew and Greek. While Dave could not understand them, the music of these languages in their original tongue fascinated him. His father's library of commentaries now lines a wall in his home.In his debut novel, The Confessions of Adam, a re-telling of the universal and dramatic narrative that opens the book of Genesis, he has crafted a richly imagined story of creation and its aftermath-drawing on a lifetime of familiarity with the text as well as more recent study. The Confessions of Adam was a 2020 Oregon Christian Writers Cascade Award finalist and a 2021 Illumination Award medalist.David J. Marsh holds a BS in Communications from Grace College, Winona Lake, IN and an MFA in Creative Writing from Butler University, Indianapolis.
