Genesis: An Introduction and Commentary (Kidner Classic Commentaries)

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. Kidners clear prose and theological insight will expand readers understanding of Gods character and of humanitys nature and destiny.
