Genesis: An Introduction And Commentary

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.
