Genesis, Paperback / softback Book

Genesis Paperback / softback

Part of the Two Horizons Old Testament Commentary series

Paperback / softback

Description

In this commentary James McKeown treats Genesis as a book of beginnings and a foundational sourcebook for biblical theology.

He begins with exegesis of the Hebrew text, highlighting the recurrence of key words, phrases, and themes throughout the book.

He also draws attention to passages particularly pertinent to earlier readers either facing or returning from exile, offering a historical context outside a solely Christian perspective. The second half of the book unpacks the numerous theological horizons of Genesis -- main unifying themes (descendants, blessing, land); key theological teachings of Genesis (creation, fall, character and image of God, life of faith); and the contribution of Genesis to theology today, including its impact on science, ecology, and feminist theology. McKeown's Genesis provides a solid examination of a scriptural book that reflects the struggles and hopes of its readers -- ancient and modern -- and offers encouragement for their walk with God.
