Genesis Uncovered

By Michael Hurdman

Uncovering Genesis invites readers to view the book of Genesis with a fresh perspective. It is written with careful attention to scholarly insight, yet maintains a warm, devotional tone. Drawing from the world of the Ancient Near East, it explores what Genesis meant to its original audience.

Uncovering Genesis is not a traditional commentary in the formal sense of the term. Its purpose is to present Genesis in a way that opens up its historical and cultural context, revealing the meaning of words and ideas as they would have been understood by an ancient people. The journey takes readers from the ordered beauty of creation through the promises and faith of Abraham to the palace of Pharaoh, demonstrating how God's hand was sovereignly at work throughout.

Great care has been taken to make the material accessible to college freshmen, pastors, and lay readers. It is designed for both small-group and classroom use. Each chapter integrates archaeological background and theological reflection to make complex ideas understandable and relevant. Readers will come away with a renewed appreciation for Genesis and a deeper desire to know Scripture as both ancient literature and divine revelation.
