Best Genesis Commentary I've Read,
By
This review is from: Creation and Blessing: A Guide to the Study and Exposition of Genesis (Paperback)
We used this commentary when I was studying Hebrew in seminary. I found it not only to be the best commentary on Genesis, but also the most enjoyable one to read out of all of my OT commentaries. I like the book because it is very readable, it sheds light on the nuances of the original language, and also has very practical applications. I've forgotten a lot of my Hebrew, but I haven't forgotten this book!

An exceptional study of the book of beginnings.,
By Allen Mickle "Allen Mickle" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creation and Blessing: A Guide to the Study and Exposition of Genesis (Paperback)
I purchased this book for a second year Bible college class on the book of Genesis. Dr. Ross' book was very helpful to me as an aspiring pastor because not only was he helpful in the technical aspects of the book of Genesis but he was also helpful in illustrating how the book of Genesis could be applied in our society today. This book is a must for any Old Testament scholar and for any preacher or teacher of God's Word.

Perfect combination of Exegetical Insights and homiletic application,
By JJ - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creation and Blessing: A Guide to the Study and Exposition of Genesis (Paperback)
Allen Ross (who has taught at Dallas Seminary, Perkins School of Theology, and Beeson Divinity School, to name three) has produced perhaps the best one volume commentary on the book of Genesis. Top priority of this commentary is the meaning of the text. With insights into Hebrew narrative structure (when it applies) and keen discourse analysis, the commentary doesn't bog down into meaningless discussions, but stays focused on the meaning of the words and paragraphs of the text of scripture. If that sounds too academic, amazingly it is not (and Dr. Ross is a Hebrew instructor!) Each pericope has a homiletic focus that is wonderfully helpful, if, like me, you tend to be too focused on the text. It is not simply applicational, but rather focused on the homiletic point of the section.Good stuff abound. I like Waltke, but you will dig through his Acts and Scenes till they drive you nuts. Ross's commentary is focused and useful. For instance, Genesis 3:16 is so clearly presented, that you will wonder how you missed the obvious. Excellent. |
