Genesis for Everyone
Regular price
€17.50
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 this second of his studies of Genesis, John Goldingay continues to accompany us as we read of the trials and victories of a people learning about God and his relationship with them, both in the grand sweep of history and in the everyday events of their lives. 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.
