R. Kent Hughes has easy to read and great Biblical insights when reading/studying the Word along with his commentary. His Preaching Series of commentaries is a must have to anyone wanting to go understand and go deeper into God's Word.

Very useable and helpful. It is monstrous so it touches on practically everything, and Hughes does a good job revealing the humor that is all over Genesis.

In approximately 563 pages Hughes divides Genesis's 50 chapters into 70 sections filled with description, details, and illustrations. This is a very readable, conservative, non-technical commentary for preaching or teaching. The book ends with five chapters entitled "Man and Sin in Genesis, Faith and Righteousness in Genesis, Grace in Genesis, Messiah in Genesis, and God in Genesis." Also, contains 22 pages of notes/bibliography and an alphabetical index of sermon illustrations.

Can't wait to afford the rest of the series.

This commentary is certainly the best I have read on Genesis and one of the top 5 commentaries I have read over the last two decades. One of the ways I know this is one of the best is by looking at the sheer amount of yellow highlighter I have applied as I read the book. Hughes presents a lot of eloquent statements that bring out the profound theology of Genesis as well as illuminating its fascinating stories.

Kent Hughes has an engaging style. His vivid prose brings out many details I had missed on earlier readings of Genesis. As I read, I would often exclaim to myself, "now why didn't I see that the last time?"

The author presents this majestic book in the context of Reformed theology, but the reader never gets the impression that Hughes is trying to push a theological position. As he explains doctrinal issues, there is no hint that he is attempting fo force-fit scripture to explain doctrine in a proof-texting way. Rather, the doctrine flows naturally from the biblical text and Hughes acts more as a tour-guide as he explains the sights and sounds.

In sum, this commentary is a "must have" for any serious student of the Bible.
