Product Description

Book Description

The Gold Medallion winning commentary by one of the leading Old Testament evangelical scholars that explores Genesis with the academic integrity you expect from a conservative commentary, but in an approachable style that addresses the text as "theological literature."

From the Back Cover

This landmark commentary marshals the vast experience and brilliant insights of one of today's most revered Old Testament scholars. To those familiar with the work of Bruce K. Waltke, the significance and value of Genesis will be instantly apparent. Others who are unfamiliar with Waltke have only to read the first few chapters to understand why he has earned the reputation of a scholar's scholar, and why this masterful volume stands like a monolith among Old Testament commentaries.

Exploring the first book of the Bible as "theological literature," Waltke illuminates its meanings and methods for the pastor, scholar, teacher, student, and Bible-lover. Genesis strikes an unusual balance by emphasizing the theology of the Scripture text while also paying particular attention to the flow and development of the plot and literary techniques--inclusion, irony, chiasm, and concentric patterning--that shape the message of the "book of beginnings.L

Genesis Models the way to read and interpret the narratives of the book of Genesis Provides helpful exegetical notes that address key issues and debates surrounding the text Includes theological reflections on how the message addresses our contemporary theological and social issues, such as ecology, homosexuality, temperance, evil, prayer, and obedience Addresses critical interpretive issues, such as authenticity, date, and authorship

For all the author's formidable intellect and meticulous research, Genesis is amazingly accessible. This is no mere study tool. Lucidly and eloquently written, it is a work of the heart that helps us not only to understand deeply God's Word in its context, but also to consider how it applies to us today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the best, April 9 2002

By A Customer

Dr. Waltke has presented us with the best commentary on Genesis that I have read in a long time. As a Bible study leader this book is indispensable. He exegetes each section which he has divided up into Acts & Scenes - don't let this confuse you, it his own way of "separating" the contents. He not only give us exegetical notes but includes a theological review of each "Act". I have never read a book so designed to correctly use the Word of God. It not only is a delight to read but is a most helpful book for preparing a Bible study. His insights and high view of God are inspiring.

4.0 out of 5 stars a great commentary, Dec 7 2001

By	Peter Amue (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A well-written commentary on Genesis; but the only drawback it has is that it lacks depth in some places. Waltke along with Fredricks have written a commentary where the layperson as well as the advanced scholar can be comfortable, for the Hebrew words have been transliterated thus allowing the commentary to reach a wider audience. I like the way the entire book is laid out especially the sections - Theological Reflections and Literary Analysis, as they compliment the main text. This book will come handy for preparing a sermon or doing study notes; but if one wants to do an indept research one will need to purchase the works by the likes of Leupold, Hamilton and Wenham. I would still recommend you buy this commentary even if you already own another one on Genesis, and you will not be sorry you bought it.
