Much controversy surrounds the opening chapters of Genesis. They are " 'front-loaded' with all manner of vital topics," says C. John Collins, "such as God's work of creating the world and mankind; what it means to be human; why our present experience is so different from what we find in Genesis 2; how we come to know God and to be sure of his love."

Collins employs a literary-theological method informed by contemporary discourse analysis in order to read passages as coherent wholes. He shows how later biblical and intertestamental writers have used Genesis 1-4, and reflects on how these chapters shape a Christian worldview today.

This academically rigorous treatment of the biblical text explores the connections of the parts of Scripture and the Bible's impact on life today.

Highly Recommended Commentary
An important commentary by a skillful evangelical scholar who has devoted years of study to the early chapters of Genesis. The focus is on Genesis 1-4, but Collins also devotes reasonable space to links (""""Other Reverberations"""") with other books, both OT and NT. The first section of the book (30 pages) outlines the discourse-oriented reading employed, to enable the reader to fully benefit from the following commentary section. Collins' awareness of the multi-faceted contemporary conversation surrounding Genesis 1-4 is reflected in the wide range of related topics (environment, gender, Darwinian implications) treated throughout the commentary, plus an additional longer chapter focussing on """"Genesis 1-4, History, and Science"""". Collin's work here has been highly praised by J. I. Packer. \\r\\n
