Moses takes the reader from an awesome, sinless paradise to death and burial in Egypt. In between are his grand descriptions of the origin and fall of man, the destruction of the world by water, the judgement of Babel, and the exciting adventures of the Hebrew patriarchs.
Any modern study of Genesis must consider the vast array of material unearthed by archaeologists in the Near East. Where appropriate, we have also discussed the Hebrew text, geography, and ancient cultures. Comparisons between Genesis and its cultural background will not alone yield proper interpretations, however; the text still must be compared with other potions of Scripture.
Because space is limited, the biblical text is not quoted to any extent; we recommend that the reader have a Bible at hand while working through this volume.
Finally, we have attempted to make the study of Genesis practical and spiritually rewarding as well as intellectually informative. It is my hope that all who read this book will be drawn closer to the God of whom Moses spoke so eloquently.
