Genesis: A Commentary for Biblical Preaching and Teaching (Kerux Commentary Series)

"While Genesis sits as the first book of the Bible, many Christians are unaware of the richness this book has to offer. Symbolism, unfamiliar traditions or practices, and cultural differences can make Genesis confusing and difficult to understand, and application nearly impossible. Authors John M. Soden and Randal Emery Pelton use the model of robust exegesis paired with experienced pastoral care to demonstrate how Genesis fits within God's story for creation, as well as what that means for our lives today. Through rich theological insight, pastors, teachers, and theologians alike are invited to think deeply on Genesis and to investigate the richness that the first book of the Bible has to offer with the goal of sharing that richness with others. Based on the Big Idea preaching model, Kerux enhances the reader's ability to deliver a message that is biblical, cohesive, and dynamic"-- Provided by publisher.
