Word Biblical Commentary vol. 1 Genesis 1-15
Wenham, Gordon J. (1943-...)
Word Biblical Commentary vol. 1 Genesis 1-15 Gordon J. Wenham - U.S.A Zondervan 1987 - 352tr. Hardcover 23cm
Dr. Wenham shows the opening chapters of Genesis as describing an avalanche of sin that gradually engulfs mankind-the alienation of the first man and woman and their expulsion from the presence of God in the garden, mankind's near-annihilation in the flood, the folly of Babel and humanity's dispersal over the face of the globe teaching that without God's blessing mankind is without hope. `But the promises to Abraham and the patriarchs begin to repair that situation,` says Dr. Wenham. `The covenant will benefit not just Abraham and his descendants, but in him all the nations of the earth will find blessing, and the ultimate fulfillment of the creator's ideals for humanity is guaranteed . . Let us beware of allowing ourselves to be diverted from the central thrust of the book so that we miss what the Lord, our creator and redeemer, is saying to us.`
