A Treasure Trove in Genesis

This is a book that should be in the library of every Christian. That is, if you want a deeper understanding of God, a deeper understanding of yourself, and a new found awe of the divine authorship of the Holy Scripture. This book is not intended as an exhaustive commentary on Genesis. Pink himself says that the book is intended to bring forth some of the "gleanings" from this incredible Scripture. What it really is, is a book that picks up on, identifies, and speaks briefly on many themes, doctrines, types, etc. that run through the entire Bible. I came away with a deeper understanding of God, his character, and nature, as well as my own fallen nature, and more importantly, a much deeper knowledge, and thankfulness for His Grace, for without it, I (we all) would be lost. Pink frequently throws out undeveloped thoughts and states that the faithful reader will profit greatly by studying the various scriptures he cites. This is a book that definitely invites separate study, and as the author suggests, you very definitely profit thereby! This book is faith expanding, it will give the novice, or the professional theologian, meat to chew on. Pink is relatively easy to read and is, I think, one of the most under-rated Christian authors/thinkers of the past several generations.

Gleanings in Genesis

Gleanings in Genesis by Arthur W. Pink. I was surprised by his insights into this first book of the Bible. His commentary broached subjects that I need to reconsider (i.e. the gap theory between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2) and presented those subjects in a unique style. He writes in an easy to read manner. I couldn't put it down. Even my wife who is not a reader was facinated by its content and readability. Pastor Pink ties almost every verse in Genesis to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He also references his writings extensively which is very helpful. I believe that any student of the Bible must have this book!

Incredible resource

Gleanings in Genesis is very helpful resource in study. A.W. Pink has a knack for really reaching through the pages of scripture and pulling out some awesome gems. Also it is worth having for any serious student of Typology. It is almost as good as Habershon's study of the types. I have read a few of Mr. Pink's books and have enjoyed all of them alot. But I can say that by far this is one of his best books ever. From the opening to the finish he does not lose your interest in the study of Genesis. This is very basic and very deep at the same time. No price is too high to pay for it because it is worth every penny!

A very insightful and meaty commentary of Genesis.

Pink's insight into the Scriptures is staggering. He does a masterful job of linking the major themes of the Old Testament to the New Testament. He also brings out some fascinating types and shadows that provide great insight as to the nature of Jesus. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to go deeper into the Word.
