Welcome to The Genesis Blog

The Genesis Blog contains a series of essays exploring interesting aspects of the book of Genesis as seen from my perspective as a reader and translator. Most of the blog was written between November, 2014 and July, 2015 while working on the translation of the book of Genesis into the Nawat language. The Genesis Blog is addressed to a fairly broad audience including general readers, translators, Bible enthusiasts and language lovers. For a fuller introduction to the blog please click here or on the About tab at the top of the blog.

Update log

2 August 2015
I have now finished my annotation of the book of Genesis on this blog; my notes may be accessed via the archive index lower down. As for the translation project, I am about to revise the Nawat translation. The blog is pretty much "complete" (if a blog is ever complete) and I am not planning regular additions to it at the present time, but may still post occasional items when I have something more to say. I am still very interested in receiving feedback about the project and the blog content, so feel free to write (my email address can be found on my personal website - the link is in my profile above). Thank you for following this blog and for your interest in my work!
