I just finished reading the Book "Genesis: Beginning & Blessing" by R. Kent Huges. I have always been told that the key to understanding the entire Bible is based upon a solid knowledge of Genesis. I now understand why! R. Kent Huges writes Biblical commentary is a clear and consise manner, and makes the book of Genesis come to life. The characters, their purposes, and the detailed historical background reveals much about human nature and, more importantly, about the nature of God. I am so delighted by R. Kent Huges' ability to write in a straightforward and unambiguous manner that I will continue to add his many other commentaries to my Christian bookshelf.

Hughes has hit a homerun, or at least a triple. This exposition of Genesis is amazing in its scope, depth, and clarity.

Hughes is definitely in his prime here.

While Hughes is not a six day Creationist, he does espouse Creationism. He does a good job of upholding special Creation as he writes.

Hughes has an amazing knowledge of Scripture as well as background resources. All of these are brought to bear on the subject at hand. The book has extensive references. The writing is good, too.

"Genesis: Beginning and Blessing" is certainly a recommended resource for studies in the book of Genesis.

I dare say that "Genesis: Beginning and Blessing" shall become one of the few classic expositions of the book of Genesis.

Whether one is a layman, Bible class teacher, pastor, or scholar, "Genesis: Beginning and Blessing" belongs in their library.

There is no doubt R. Kent Hughes has the Spirit working in him through his writings. His commentaries of the Bible have been a big enjoyment and have made the words of the Bible come alive for me, as well as strengthen my Christian faith. I believe anyone who is seeking a better understanding of Christianity, and wants to let the bible guide you through you're seeking, than you will not be disappointed in any of his books (this one included).
