The Daily Study Bible Series is meant to be an easy to read and scholarly text. This work on Genesis is the first of two volumes by John Gibson covering this first book of the Bible. The work begins with an introduction to Genesis, covering the name of the book, its origins and its place as literature. The commentary draws out the theological and historical aspects of the book for the reader. Good for pastors or lay people.

In this first of two volumes on the book of Genesis, John Gibson--Old Testament General Editor of the Daily Study Bible--offers a probing investigation of the first eleven chapters of Genesis. He provides a perceptive verse-by-verse and even word-by-word examination of the well-known Genesis stories of creation, the garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, Noah and the flood, and the Tower of Babel.

Carrying forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclay's New Testament series, the Daily Study Bible has been extended to cover the entire Old Testament as well. Invaluable for individual devotional study, for group discussion, and for classroom use, the Daily Study Bible provides a useful, reliable, and eminently readable way to discover what the Scriptures were saying then and what God is saying today.

John C. L. Gibson served as a member of the faculty in Hebrew and Semantic Languages and as Coordinator and Chairman of the Board of Examiners in Biblical Literature at the University of Edinburgh. He is the editor of the popular Daily Study Bible series.
