Creation and Blessing: A Guide to the Study and Exposition of Genesis

Creation and Blessing is an exceptionally helpful guide for pastors and teachers. Its literary, exegetical, and theological analyses will enrich any exposition of Genesis.

The author's purpose is to "help the reader appreciate the major literary and theological motifs that form the theological ideas in the narratives, and to demonstrate how these theological ideas can be developed into clear and accurate expository ideas." To accomplish this goal, he divides Genesis into more than sixty units, discussing each unit's theological ideas, describing its structure, and synthesizing its message, as well as providing an exegetical outline, an expository outline, and a bibliography.

Allen P. Ross (PhD, University of Cambridge) taught Old Testament and Hebrew at Beeson Divinity School, Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry, and Dallas Theological Seminary. He also served as translator and editor of the New King James Version and is the author of commentaries on Genesis, Leviticus, Psalms, and Malachi.
