Genesis (Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible)

by R. R. Reno, Robert Jenson (Editor), Robert Wilken (Editor), Ephraim Radner (Editor), Michael Root (Editor)

Overview

The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible enlists leading theologians to read and interpret Scripture for the twenty-first century, just as the church fathers, the Reformers, and other orthodox Christians did for their times and places. In this addition to the well-received series, esteemed theologian R. R. Reno offers a theological exegesis of Genesis. This commentary, like each in the series, is designed to serve the church--providing a rich resource for preachers, teachers, students, and study groups--and demonstrate the continuing intellectual and practical viability of theological interpretation of the Bible.
