Genesis: A New Commentary

Meredith G Kline (1922-2007) was a scholar of the ancient Near East, and one of the most influential and original Reformed theologians (covenant theology) of the last half century. This posthumously published commentary sets out his brilliant interpretation of Genesis - a must-read for serious students of Scripture!

<p>Meredith G. Kline is famous in the Reformed community  
for his teaching and writings in the area of biblical and  
covenant theology. In the mid-1990s, just after Kline finished  
writing what is considered to be his magnum opus (a study  
of the book of Genesis called <i>Kingdom Prologue</i>), he wrote a  
brief commentary on the same biblical text. <i>Genesis: A New</i>  
Commentary was not published during his lifetime and is just  
now being made available to the public.</p>  
<p>Many of Kline's former students, as well as many pastors and  
laypeople in the Reformed community, consider his work to have  
had a transformative effect on their faith and thinking. His teaching  
and writings (he wrote seven books and more than seventy  
articles) were filled with fresh, insightful interpretations.</p>  
<p>Meredith Kline's posthumously published <i>Genesis: A New  
Commentary</i>-which distills his mature views on the book of  
Genesis and, indeed, on Scripture as a whole-will appeal greatly  
to those who already admire his work, and make his thinking  
accessible to a broader audience. The commentary has been  
edited by Kline's grandson Jonathan G. Kline, who received his  
PhD in Hebrew Bible from Harvard University, and contains a  
foreword by Michael S. Horton, the J. Gresham Machen Professor  
of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster  
Seminary California.</p>Read less
