Synopsis

Genesis is a book of origins: of the world, of sin, of God’s promise of redemption, and of the people of Israel. It traces God’s pledge to send a Saviour through Abraham’s line down to his great-grandson Judah. It is foundational for the New Testament and its teaching that Jesus is the fulfilment of God’s promise to save humankind from sin and death. Andrew Steinmann’s thorough exegetical commentary includes a reconstructed timeline of events from Abraham’s life through to the death of Joseph.

These commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The Introduction to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting and purpose. Following a structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new Old Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: Context, Comment and Meaning. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.
