The best commentary to get on the book of Genesis December 20, 2001

By Dr. Marc Axelrod VINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a really good two volume commentary on Genesis. I like it better than Gordon Wenham's two volume work for several reasons: 1) It is easier to read. 2) There are many points where Hamilton focus on applying the text to the New Testament and to the practical Christian life, 3) you don't have to have a knowledge of hebrew to access this mammoth work. So if you're doing a Bible study on Genesis or if you're preaching through it, then this is the top of the line.
