Where do we come from? What is our purpose? The early chapters of
Genesis proclaim the origin of the world, and of human life on
earth. In The Message of Genesis 1-11, David Atkinson explores how
the first eleven chapters serve as an overture to the rest of the
Bible. They evoke wonder as God is portrayed in his creative power
and beauty. They reveal his loving mercy and salvation even in his
terrible judgment of those who turn from him and despoil the
harmony of creation. With vivid, provocative insight, Atkinson
illuminates how the meaning of Genesis is still resonant today -
providing the insight that allows us to understand both the
greatness and the tragic flaw inherent in human beings. Although it
was written thousands of years ago, the message of Genesis is one
of timely urgency for the modern world: we are responsible
participants in God's creation who must, like Noah, confront the
possibility of global catastrophe. Part of the loved and trusted
The Bible Speaks Today series of commentaries, The Message of
Genesis 1-11 offers an insightful, readable exposition of the
Biblical text and thought-provoking discussion of how its meaning
relates to contemporary life. Used by Bible students and teachers
around the world, The Bible Speaks Today commentaries are ideal for
anyone studying or preaching Genesis and who want to delve deeper
into the text. This beautifully redesigned edition has also been
sensitively updated to include modern references and use the NRSV
Bible text. Readable and reliable, The Message of Genesis 1-11 will
help for anyone looking for a commentary on the Genesis that makes
clear its meaning both in its original context and for twenty-first
century readers.
