Genesis 1-11

by Robert Davidson and Robert Davidson

Book Overview

Chapters 1-11 of Genesis are like a poetic prologue to the early history of the Jewish people and to their religion. For Christianity also they later fulfil a similar purpose. Professor Davidson takes these chapters as a separate unity, comments on them, and explains their religious significance and their place in the Bible as a whole. Introductory sections on the sources and purpose of the book, and the meaning of myth, lead straight into the text and commentary which alternate with each other in the style of the series.

Great, Very Easy to Read

The Cambridge University bible commentary on Genesis 1-11 is a wonderful book that is very useful and easy to read. I have spent a lot of time looking for Bible commentary books on the Old Testament, and I have finally found one that is concise, easy to read, and does not get too technical and scholarly. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in learning more about the Bible!
