Genesis: A Fresh Look at an Ancient Book

By William W Duff

This book is not "just another commentary on Genesis." Based on an approach that is fresh because of the author's scientific perspective, this commentary and study guide brings the text of Genesis to life. Through a careful analysis of the original text, the author uncovers a number of interesting items that have been overlooked by more conventional scholars. While using the results of recent biblical scholarship where necessary, the book avoids getting bogged down in the narrow pursuits of many scholars. Genesis is treated as the beginning of the story about God's relationship with his people. The text is explored from a variety of different approaches, from literal to metaphorical to allegorical, so that readers can decide for themselves which best reveals the truth of the story. The book is designed to facilitate group study; included is a list of questions that can be used to stimulate discussion.
