Synopsis

What can we gain from studying the book of Genesis? According to James Montgomery Boice, starting at the beginning of everything causes us to think about God and to understand ourselves as fallen yet redeemable. This knowledge not only deepens our understanding of the Christian faith but also enhances our ability to impart the gospel’s truth to a world desperately in need of it.This first volume on the book of Genesis, exploring chapters 1–11, shows how the story of redemption—essentially all of Scripture—has no significance apart from the story of creation and fall. These first eleven chapters of Genesis establish the relationship of God to the cosmos and to all peoples of the earth. Topics covered in Volume 1 include:In the Beginning (1:1)Is the Fall a Fact? (3:1–6)Only Evil All the Time (6:5–8)The God Who Remembers (8:1–19)The Test of Human Government (9:1–7)The Tower of Babel (11:1–9)

Are you studying through the book of Genesis and wish you can understand more of what you read? A book that would be helpful is this title. The book is an expository commentary, which is between a devotional and heavier exegetical Bible commentary. It was written by the late preacher James Montgomer......more

Goodreads review by Rod on November 26, 2024

This is an excellent commentary. I don't agree with the author in the earlier chapters as he seems to be ambiguous about the age of the earth. I know that we cannot date the earth exactly but we can, if we believe that Genesis is the inspired word of God, say that it is a few thousand years old, not......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin on June 24, 2022

Although I also enjoyed or at least admired two other great biblical commentaries on the Sermon on the Mount and Romans by Luther and Barth respectively*, this fairly large book on the first eleven chapters of Genesis has got to be my favourite so far. Boice is absolutely brilliant at really diving......more

Goodreads review by David on March 08, 2022

Based on a prolonged series of sermons, as many of his writings seem to be, this is an accessible if frustrating commentary on the early chapters of Genesis. Boice was for some time an influential voice in American, and therefore because of its commercial power, global reformed evangelicalism, prepa......more

Goodreads review by Philip on September 18, 2022

A wealth of information in there that's thorough and well organised. Boice is measured and thoughtful. Even in areas I'm not sure I'm with him on, he makes his case well. Particularly useful was his work on Noah's flood as well as the table of nations in chapter 10 of Genesis. Some mind-blowing stuf......more
