Paradise to Prison is a commentary, textbook and complete study guide to the book of Genesis. In very readable fashion the author explores the lives of the patriarchs as well as important doctrinal themes. Each chapter is carefully documented and sources from archaeology and ancient Near Eastern history are freely used. The writer's premise is that no other ancient literature surviving the ravages of time can rightly be compared to Genesis with its unsurpassed theological perspectives and vivid profiles of early man.

Review
"An excellent evangelical commentary...popular enough for most readers to understand and yet informative enough to be helpful to scholars." -- Eldon Woodcock, Alliance Witness
From the Publisher
Sheffield Publishing Company is pleased to add this excellent and popular book to our list of reissues! Paradise to Prison has, for years, been considered among the best of commentaries on the book of Genesis from an evangelical perspective. Originally, the hardcover format's price may have made it difficult to consider as a supplementary text. We've reissued it as a paperback with a price that will make it affordable to students!

This review is from: Paradise to Prison (Paperback)
This is a compelling look at the narrative of the book of Genesis beginning with Adam and Eve in the Garden and ending with Joseph post-prison days. The author has an engaging and scholarly way of approaching the text from a conservative Protestant viewpoint.
