About
There are few parts of Scripture over which so many battles - theological, scientific, historical, and literary - have been fought as the book of Genesis.
In this classic work, Derek Kidner not only provides a verse-by-verse exegetical commentary but also lucidly handles the tough issues that Genesis raises. Focusing on the study of Genesis on its own terms, as 'a living whole', he highlights the theological themes of the nature of God, humankind, and salvation.
Kidner's clear prose and theological insight will expand readers' understanding of God's character and of humanity's nature and destiny.
