Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great study guild, May 30, 2008

By	P. Ursery "Rawdoggusa" (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was a great study guild, I do feel he left out some more important information on the creation and the fall of man, however; he backs up everything with the word of God and additional scriptures to help the average reader follow along and to expand their research.

2.0 out of 5 stars Something added, may not be for you., January 31, 2006

By	John M. mo "King's Servant" (Branson, Missouri) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Kidner uses some of modern thought to explain creation and the flood events, not using the Bible for the basis. Readers should be careful not to take all of his comments as the "Gospel".
