The first in a major new series of guides to the books of the Old Testament written in an accessible and anecdotal style. The series is suitable for personal or group use and the format is also appropriate for daily study.
'In the beginning God created . . .' This gripping opening line draws attention to the irresistible creative nature of God - the One who is able to bring something out of nothing. There is no more fitting way to introduce us to the first and most obvious indication of God s goodness and greatness.
The book of Genesis goes on to tell stories (both exciting and commonplace), offer profound mysteries, and engage us in the biggest issues of all: who we are, where we come from, and where we're going. Using personal anecdote, a witty and lively style, and drawing on his considerable theological knowledge, John Goldingay takes us deep into the unfolding story. He explores the character and nature of the God we meet so powerfully in that opening line, the God we can encounter daily on the journey through this revelatory book. And, as Professor Goldingay guides us in our understanding of these time-honoured words and the ancient world they describe, he helps us to apply what we read to our lives.
This series offers a natural progression from the successful 'For Everyone' series of New Testament translations and commentaries.
John Goldingay is Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary, California. His recent books include An Introduction to the Old Testament, A Reader’s Guide to the Bible, Reading Jesus’s Bible, Biblical Theology and numerous critically acclaimed commentaries on the books of the Hebrew Bible.
