An Introduction and Commentary, Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries

Written by Derek Kidner

Genesis--the Bible's account of human origins and the harbinger of human destiny--is a book teeming with critical problems. Who wrote it? When? Does the account of creation square with modern science? What about Adam and Eve? Derek Kidner not only provides a running exegetical commentary, but lucidly handles the tough issues that Genesis raises. His clear prose and theological insight will expand readers' understanding of God's character and of human nature and destiny. The Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. The introduction to each volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date and historical background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. 

This "commentary on Genesis was first published in 1967, and yet continues to serve nicely as a reference for anyone seeking to understand the biblical text. Kidner claims Genesis is an imcomparable work in the Ancient Near East, both in scope and quality, as well as a springboard for what will follow in the Scriptures, "the greater things of the exodus which its final events demand and its closing words anticipate." Kidner adds that Genesis "is in various ways almost nearer the New Testament than the Old, and some of its topics are barely heard again till their implications can fully emerge in the gospel." What the Old Testament conceals, the New Testament reveals." -Benjamin A. Simpson
