Explanation - Most of the resources below are newer commentaries (written after 1970) and other Bible resources which previously were available only for purchase in book form or in a Bible computer program. The resources are made freely available by archive.org but have several caveats - (1) they do not allow copy and paste, (2) they can only be checked out for one hour (but can be checked out immediately when your hour expires giving you time to read or take notes on a lengthy section) and (3) they require creating an account which allows you to check out the books free of charge. To set up an account click archive.org and then click the picture of the person in right upper corner and enter email and a password. That's all you have to do. Then you can read these more modern resources free of charge! I have read or used many of these resources but not all of them so ultimately you will need to be a Berean (Acts 17:11+) as you use them. I have also selected works that are conservative and Biblically sound. If you find one that you think does not meet those criteria please send an email at https://www.preceptaustin.org/
Genesis: beginning and blessing by Hughes, R. Kent, 76 ratings
"R. Kent Hughes, respected pastor and author of many other commentaries in this series, takes readers back to the beginning of the Bible and moves through Genesis with careful exegesis. He explores the superbly crafted structure of the book as well as the weighty themes it contains. For those who preach, teach, and study God’s Word, this exceptionally detailed work will reveal much about the beginnings of God’s great story."
Cyril Barber - This well-outlined exposition of 702 pp. (replete with an index of Hughes’ sermon illustrations) gives evidence of careful preparation. The stories in the book of Genesis are well-known to us, and here they receive fresh analysis and application. Hughes’ critique of human nature is prominent throughout, and he boldly points out the origin of our rebellion against God and continued sinfulness. Also prominent is God’s grace freely bestowed upon His undeserving creatures. Preachers will find that this work contains an abundance
The Genesis Record : a Scientific and Devotional Commentary - by Dr Henry Morris
Cyril Barber on Morris' The Genesis Record : a Scientific and Devotional Commentary (It can be borrowed) - Valuable as corollary reading. Of great importance for the scientific data that has been included in the author's exposition. Should be consulted by all who wish to be well-informed on the issues alluded to by Moses.
Exploring Genesis: An Expository Commentary. (3 copies available) John Phillips.
Designed for beginning Bible students, this work contains some valid applications of truth to life, but does not deal convincingly with some of the problems.
The Defender's Study Bible : King James Version by Morris, Henry M. Excellent notes by well known creationist. 45 ratings
The Henry Morris KJV Study Bible is an invaluable apologetic Bible study tool for the defense of the Christian faith, including biblical creationism, that highlights the foundational truths of Genesis found in all the other 65 books of the KJV Bible. The comprehensive apologetic study bible notes provide answers to questions related to doctrinal issues, as well as scientific matters, such as geology, earth history, astronomy, biology, and other sciences.
The Genesis Flood : the Biblical Record and its Scientific Implications - John Whitcomb and Henry Morris 469 ratings
Over 250,000 copies sold. This anniversary edition celebrates 50 years of Whitcomb and Morris's biblically-based system of creationism and catastrophism that unifies and correlates scientific data from early earth history a modern creationist classic.
Genesis: an introduction and commentary (Tyndale OT Commentary Series) by Kidner, Derek 9 ratings
Derek Kidner not only provides a verse-by-verse exegetical commentary but also lucidly handles the tough issues that Genesis raises. Focusing on the study of Genesis on its own terms, as "a living whole," he highlights the theological themes of the nature of God, humankind, and salvation. In this volume, formerly part of the Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries series, Kidner's clear prose and theological insight will expand readers' understanding of God's character and of humanity's nature and destiny.
James Rosscup - It is evident that much study lies behind this concisely stated commentary in the Tyndale series. Kidner has packed in a lot of understanding of word meanings, movements of thought in different parts of Genesis, customs, God’s purposes, and relationship to other parts of Scripture. It is a solid but brief work. Cf. his works also on Psalms and Proverbs.
Paradise to Prison : studies in Genesis by Davis, John J
Paradise to Prison is a commentary, textbook and complete study guide to the book of Genesis. In very readable fashion the author explores the lives of the patriarchs as well as important doctrinal themes. Each chapter is carefully documented and sources from archaeology and ancient Near Eastern history are freely used. The writer's premise is that no other ancient literature surviving the ravages of time can rightly be compared to Genesis with its unsurpassed theological perspectives and vivid profiles of early man.
Cyril Barber - An indispensable aid to the study of Genesis by one whose archaeological, historical, and philological expertise places him in the forefront of evangelical scholars today. Recommended.
Genesis (Everyman's Bible Commentary) by Vos, Howard Frederic, 8 ratings
James Rosscup - A simple, broad survey by a conservative who tends to give some good comments but at times not nail down his view to explain a matter (cf. his survey of four views on days in Genesis 1, then leaving the matter hanging, and not commenting on how long God rested in 2:1–3; or his not choosing a preference on “sons of God” on Genesis 6 after a shallow consideration of issues). However, in a concise treatment he does touch on many of the problems.
Genesis : a study guide : Wood, Leon
Rosscup - This is a republication of the 1975 study guide of 152 pp. A staunch conservative offers a quick survey in basic information, often resolving main problems briefly. He leaves open the length of the days in Genesis 1, employs a detailed outline, and primarily assists lay readers and students looking for a terse review. A fine, brief evangelical survey of the main flow of the book, with a number of quite helpful comments on problem areas most readers want to see discussed. Among the briefer works this is one of the best.
Genesis. 1-15 by Wenham, Gordon J
Cyril Barber - This is a work of remarkable erudition. While some will consult it solely to ascertain whether or not Wenham agrees with them on some disputed point, the value of this commentary extends to the writer's discussion of the theology of Genesis, as well as his citation of important contemporary literary sources. While thoroughly conversant with the Documentary Hypothesis, only rarely does Wenham include this information in his treatment of these chapters. This is an exemplary work, and we look forward with anticipation to the publication of vol. 2.)
Rosscup - Wenham gives much readable and good information on the Hebrew text, word study, exegesis and insightful exposition. He is somewhat freed from traditional critical views and holds to historicity of events and persons. He does not deny theories that different strands of literary composition have led to the Genesis we know, but is skeptical toward this. He places his stress on the canonical text as a unity. Despite this, many conservatives wonder what kind of evangelical he is when he uses J and P, not clearly explaining how his usage departs from the intent usually involved in these designations. His claims that certain P material, so-called, was earlier or later than J material will be regarded as arbitrary and speculative.
Genesis. 16-50 by Wenham, Gordon J
Cyril Barber - Aims at accuracy in interpreting the original text. Here is a work of exceptional merit. It abounds in preaching values, and is to be highly recommended.
Rosscup - In volume 2, beneficial introductory sections discuss the patriarchs’ historical setting, chronology and religion, and Egytian background for Joseph. Wenham handles well Abraham’s intercession for Sodom, and has a mixture of good and unnecessary reading into the offering of Isaac (cf. waffling on 22:5), as well as dubious suggestions (32:30; 37:4 among others). But usually remarks are very profitable. In 44:5 more data could help in regard to Joseph’s using of a divining cup (424). As is typical of the WBC, a reader finds a very fine listing of serious literature on each biblical section.

Excerpt: BACKGROUND NOTES
J. Sidlow Baxter:
Besides being introductory, Genesis is explanatory. The other writings of the Bible are inseparably bound up with it inasmuch as it gives us the origin and initial explanation of all that follows. The major themes of Scripture may be compared to great rivers, ever deepening and broadening as the flow; and it is true to say that all these rivers have their rise in the watershed of Genesis. Or, to use an equally appropriate figure, as the massive trunk and widespreading branches of the oak are in the acorn, so, by implication and anticipation, all Scripture is in Genesis. Here we have in germ all that is later developed. It has been truly said that “the roots of all subsequent revelation are planted deep in Genesis, and whoever would truly comprehend that revelation must begin here.”
It is important to recognize the relationship between Genesis and the last book of Scripture. There is a correspondence between them which at once suggests itself as being both a proof and
product of the fact that the Bible is a completed revelation. There is no adequate understanding of either of them without the other; but taken together they are mutually completive. There is no going back beyond the one, and not going forward beyond the other; nor is there in either case any need to do so. In broad outline and majestic language Genesis answers the question: “How did all begin?” In broad outline and majestic language Revelation answers the question: “How will all issue?” All that lies between them is development from the one to the other.
Gleason Archer
The guiding principle throughout the narrative is the covenant of grace, and God’s gracious dealings with true believers from the time of Adam onward. First there is the selective process whereby the covenant fellowship is narrowed down by stages to a single individual, Abraham; then the elective principle widens to include a large family, that of Jacob. Thus the stage is set for the nurturing of an entire nation in the favored refuge of Goshen in Egypt.
R. Kent Hughes:
As deep and weighty as the book of Genesis is, it is no dry textbook. Its narratives of the garden, the flood, and the tower of Babel have captivated hearts for over three millennia and have provided inspiration for the world’s greatest poetry. The earthy, epic lives of Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob and Esau, and Joseph in ‘Egypt are so primary and universal and so skillfully told that they have never ceased to enthrall listeners. . .
Genesis is all about grace. The Apostle Paul’s aphorism, “ where sin increased, grace abounded all the more” (Romans 5:20) sums up this major theme of Genesis. Genesis, far from being a faded page fallen from antiquity, breathes the grace of God. What a time we’re going to have as our souls are worked over by the sin-speech-grace-punishment pattern of chapters 1-11, and by the overall “where sin increase, grace abounds” theme of the whole book. This is good soul medicine – strong meat. It was grace from the beginning – in both primeval and patriarchal history. It always will be grace.
Genesis also provides us with a grand revelation of God’s faithfulness as it recounts God’s fidelity over and over again in the lives of the patriarchs. We see that God remains faithful even when the people to whom the promises are made become the greatest threat to the fulfillment of the promise. Such is God’s faithfulness that the sinful, disordered lives of the promise-bearers can’t abort the promises.
W. H. Griffith Thomas:
It must be evident . . . that there was no intention of writing an universal history of man, but only of recording the development of the Divine will and purpose for and through Abraham. It is history written with a special purpose. The book might esily have begun with Abraham if the purpose had been to record the ordinary history of an ordinary people; yet inasmuch as Israel was not an ordinary people, but charged with God’s purposes for the whole of mankind, it was necessary to show – at least in brief from – the connection between the progenitor of the human race and Abraham, in whom and in whose descendants the Divine purpose was to be realized.
Dr. Jack Arnold: SPIRITUAL LESSONS
Major Events: Four basic questions of mankind are answered
Creation: How did the universe begin?
Fall: Why does a good God permit suffering?
Flood: Will God Judge the world?
Tower of Babel: Why do people differ as to races and languages?
Individuals
Adam: Object of grace.
Noah: The chosen one.
Abraham: Man of faith.
Isaac: The beloved son.
Jacob: The chosen and chastened son.
Joseph: The suffering and glorified one.Dr. Thomas Constable:
Throughout Genesis, we see that people in general consistently failed to trust and obey God (e.g., in Noah's day, at Babel, and throughout the patriarchal period).
Genesis also records what God has done to encourage people to trust and obey Him. It is only by living by these two principles that people can enjoy a relationship with God and realize all that God created them to experience.
On the one hand, Genesis reveals much about the person and work of God. This revelation helps us to trust and obey Him. It is through His personal revelations to the main characters in Genesis that God revealed Himself initially (e.g., Adam and Eve, Noah, and the patriarchs).
On the other hand, Genesis reveals much about the nature of man. Not only did God reveal the perversity and depravity of man, but He also identified many positive examples of faith and obedience in the lives of the godly.
In Genesis we learn that faith in God is absolutely essential if we are to have fellowship with Him and realize our potential as human beings.
Faith is the law of life. If one lives by faith, he flourishes, but if he does not, he fails. The four patriarchs are primarily examples of what faith is and how it manifests itself. In each of their lives we learn something new about faith.
Abraham's faith demonstrates unquestioning obedience. When God told him to do something, he almost always did it. This is the most basic characteristic of faith. That is one reason Abraham has been called "the father of the faithful." God revealed Himself nine times to Abraham (12:1-3, 7; 13:14-17; 15; 17:1-21; 18; 21:12-13; 22:1-2; 22:15- 18), and each time Abraham's response was unquestioning obedience.
Isaac's faith helps us see the quality of passive acceptance that characterizes true faith in God. This was his response to God's two revelations to him (26:2-5, 24). Sometimes Isaac was too passive.
Jacob's story is one of conflict with God until he came to realize his own limitations: then he trusted God. We can see his faith in his acknowledged dependence on God. God's seven revelations to him eventually led him to this place (28:12-15; 31:3, 11-13; 32:24- 29; 35:1, 9-12; 46:2-4). Most believers today can identify with Jacob most easily, because we too struggle with wanting to live independent of God.
Joseph's life teaches us what God can do with a person who trusts Him consistently in the face of adversity. The outstanding characteristic of Joseph's life was his faithful loyalty to God. He believed God's two revelations to him in dreams (37:5-7, 9), even though God's will did not seem to be working out as he thought it would. Patient faith and its reward shine through the story of Joseph. The Lord Jesus supremely illustrates this quality of faith.
Faith, the key concept in Genesis, means trusting that what God has prescribed is indeed best for me, and demonstrating that trust by waiting for God to provide what He has promised. A "person of faith" is one who commits to acting on this basis—even though he or she may not see how God's way is best.

Genesis Overview TITLE: BOOK OF BEGINNINGS
I. SIGNIFICANCE OF BOOK OF GENESIS
Why Study the Book of Genesis? Significant in 5 key ways
Significant from its Title – Book of Beginnings (transliteration from the Greek translation of the Septuagint); books named by the first word in the book; Book of Origins – looked at this idea last week; need to understand both our origins and our destiny – Jesus identified Himself by the title: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end”
First book of the Bible and first book of the Pentateuch – 5 books of the Pentateuch are really viewed as 1 book with 1 author – that will be important when we come to discuss authorship But many evangelical scholars today would question whether Genesis is scientifically accurate when it comes to explaining the origin of life on earth. Maybe it is just a mythological adaptation that has theological application but was never intended to be interpreted literally.
Albert Mohler begs to disagree: Theological disaster ensues when the book of nature (general revelation) is used to trump God’s special revelation, when science is placed over Scripture as authoritative and compelling. And that is the very heart of this discussion. While some would argue that the Scriptures are not in danger, the current conversation on this subject is leading down a path that will do irrevocable harm to our evangelical affirmation of the accuracy and authority of God’s Word.
So our understanding of the inerrancy of Scripture is at stake in how we interpret the book of Genesis.
Certainly it is a controversial book – Derek Kidner: There can scarcely be another part of Scripture over which so many battles, theological, scientific, historical and literary, have been fought, or so many strong opinions cherished
Significant as the Foundation for so many important doctrines – you can’t expect to skip the level 101 course in any discipline and then fully understand the material that is built on that foundation
J. Sidlow Baxter: The other writings of the Bible are inseparably bound up with it inasmuch as it gives us the origin and initial explanation of all that follows. The major themes of Scripture may be compared to great rivers, ever deepening and broadening as they flow; and it is true to say that all these rivers have their rise in the watershed of Genesis. Or, to use on equally appropriate figure, as the massive trunk and wide-spreading branches of the oak are in the acorn, so, by implication and anticipation, all Scripture is in Genesis. Here we have in germ all that is later developed. It has been truly said that “the roots of all subsequent revelation are planted deep in Genesis, and whoever would truly comprehend that revelation must begin here.
Our understanding of the rest of the OT and of the NT and of how Jesus Christ fulfills prophecies relating to God’s plan for redemption must start with an understanding of the first book, the foundational book, the book of Genesis
What doctrines are introduced here? Just some of the basic ones: set against the background of the paganism of the countries the nation of Israel
a. Sovereignty and Providence of God - sovereign in creation … but not some type of deistic view where God becomes disengaged; instead God is sovereign in governing the world He created and providentially ordering the affairs of mankind to accomplish His purposes
b. Goodness of God - We see that in Creation; we see that in His providence – testimony of Joseph after being so mistreated by his brothers
Gen. 50:20 “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.”
Rom. 8:28 “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
Very practical side to studying Genesis – Ro 15:4 “For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope” Story of Joseph and his perseverance should give each of us hope 1 Cor. 10 speaks of the value of OT examples
- Power of God
- Divine Election
Parunak: Note alternation between chosen and rejected lines, emphasizing the selection that is going on throughout the book.
c. Importance of Truth vs. Deception - lies told by Abraham to try to save his life name Jacob – deceiver; his interaction with twin brother Esau
I. Doctrine of Sin, of Depravity
J. God’s Plan of Redemption
The first promise of redemption is definite but largely undefined in Genesis 3:15: “He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.”
Later in Genesis we learn that the world will be blessed through Abraham (Ge 12:3).
The line through which Messiah would come was through Isaac, not Ishmael; Jacob, not Esau.
Finally in Genesis we see that Israel’s coming ruler will be of the tribe of Judah: “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples” (Genesis 49:10). (Source)
Christ is also seen in people and events that serve as types (a “type” is a historical fact that illustrates a spiritual truth). Adam is “a type of Him who is to come” (Rom 5:14). Both entered the world through a special act of God as sinless men. Adam is the head of the old creation; Christ is the Head of the new creation. Abel’s acceptable offering of a blood sacrifice points to Christ, and there is a parallel in his murder by Cain. Melchizedek (“righteous king”) is “made like the Son of God” (Heb 7:3). He is the King of Salem (“peace”) who brings forth bread and wine and is the priest of the Most High God. Joseph is also a type of Christ. Joseph and Christ are both objects of special love by their Fathers, both are hated by their brethren, both are rejected as rulers over their brethren, both are conspired against and sold for silver, both are condemned though innocent, and both are raised from humiliation to glory by the power of God.
- Significant because it is Widely Quoted in the NT – what did Jesus think about the book of Genesis? What did the Apostle Paul think about the book of Genesis?
John 5:46 “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.”
Luke 24:27 “Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.”
John 1:45
Morris: There are at least 165 passages in Genesis that are either directly quoted or clearly referred to in the New Testament. Many of these are alluded to more than once, so that there are at least two hundred quotations or allusions to Genesis in the New Testament … there exist over one hundred quotations or direct references to Genesis 1-11 in the New Testament. Furthermore, every one of these eleven chapters is alluded to somewhere in the New Testament, and every one of the New Testament authors refers somewhere in his writings to Genesis 1-11. On at least six different occasions, Jesus Christ Himself quoted from or referred to something or someone in one of these chapters, including specific reference to each of the first seven chapters.
Genesis is quoted from over 200 times in the New Testament. In fact chapters 1-11 is quoted more than 100 times in the New Testament. It’s not just mentioned but you’ll find it being quoted word for word over 165 in the New Testament.
B. Significant because it clearly shows how man is accountable to his Creator.
Platte: When we compromise the Bible statements about our origin, we invariably end up being confused about our purpose in life and our destiny. Humanistic evolution, for example, denies the creation and says we came by evolutionary forces (chance). The logical consequence would be that there is no real purpose for life, and there is no life after death. We can understand our purpose and goal only when we understand our origin.
If Genesis didn’t matter … If God didn’t care if we believe in a literal six day creation, in how He formed Eve out of Adam, in the institution of marriage as between one man and one woman created in the image of God and joined together in a unique one-flesh relationship, in the historicity of the universal flood of Noah’s day, in the details of the lives of the Jewish patriarchs, then God would have left Genesis out of the canon of 66 inspired books of scripture.
Foundational to a Christian world view – essential in light of Israel’s immersion in a pagan culture surrounding by alternative world views just as we are today –

NOTE THAT A NUMBER OF THE BOOKS IN THIS LIST CAN BE BORROWED AS IDENTIFIED BY "BORROW THIS BOOK"
These are Barber's recommendations for the pastor's library.
- Aalders, Gerhard Charles. Genesis. 2 vols. Bible Student's Commentary. Translated by W Heymen. Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1981. The publication in English of this outstanding Dutch commentary makes available to present day preachers the exegetical insights of a renowned Bible scholar. Should aid in the exposition of the Word.
- *Alford, Henry. The Book of Genesis, and Part of the Book of Exodus (see below). Minneapolis: Klock & Klock Christian Publishers, 1979. Though accepting a modified form of the documentary hypothesis (What is the documentary hypothesis?), Alford succeeds in bringing to his study of the OT the same depth of insight and richness of thought that characterized his treatment of the NT A rare work; buy it while it is available.
- Augustinus, Aurelius. The Literal Meaning of Genesis. 2 vols. Translated and annotated by J. H. Taylor. New York: Newman Press, 1982. Part of the Ancient Christian Writers series. Records Augustine's impressions of Genesis during the years following his conversion. In these volumes we see how he corrected the Manichean heresy that characterized his early beliefs.
- Boice, James Montgomery. Genesis: An Expositional Commentary. In process. Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1982-. Adequately explains the basic theme, purpose, and theology inherent in Genesis. Deals bravely with critical issues. Champions the cause of biblical creationism. Challenges the thinking of his readers as he deals realistically with the "sons of God" issue, the extent of the Deluge, and similar questions. Succeeds in providing the kind of exposition that may well become the best ever produced on this portion of God's Word. Scheduled for three volumes. Recommended.
- Boice, James Montgomery. Genesis: An Expositional Commentary. 3 vols. Grand Rapids: Ministry Resources Library, 1982-87. Now complete, this study deals fairly with the numerous difficulties expositors face as they seek to interpret this portion of God's Word. Boice is fair when it comes to treating points of view that differ from his own. He makes a good case for ex nihilo creation, believes the sons of God are angelic beings, that the flood was universal, et cetera. He treats the contents section by section, rather than verse by verse. His discussion of the life of the patriarchs is excellent. Whereas in the past pastors have relied heavily upon the works of Candlish, Delitzsch, and a few others for background material, in Boice's exposition they now have a new and up-to-date work to consult.
- Bonar, Horatius. Thoughts on Genesis (see below). Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1979. First published in 1875 under the title Earth's Morning, these devotional studies of Genesis chaps. 1-6, covering the period from Adam to the Flood, are permeated with practical application of biblical truth to life.
- Bruggemann, Walter. Genesis. Interpretation, a Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching. Atlanta: John Knox Press, 1982. †Presenting in a popular format the results of higher critical theories, this work succeeds in combining historical, textual, and theological issues in a way that is designed to enrich a preacher's pulpit ministry.
- Bush, George. Notes on Genesis. Volume 1, Volume 2 in 1 (see below). Minneapolis: Klock & Klock Christian Publishers, 1976. Although dated archaeologically and historically, Bush more than makes up for these deficiencies with his enriching comments on the text, sidelights drawn from his thorough knowledge of the Arab culture, and devotional application.
- Candlish, Robert Smith. Studies in Genesis (see below). Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1979. First published in 1868. Candlish highlights the doctrinal issues as well as the biographical features contained in this portion of God's Word. In spite of its age, this remains one of the best works for pastors. Recommended.
- Davidson, Robert. Genesis 1-11. Cambridge Bible Commentary on the New English Bible. New York: Cambridge University Press, 1973. †This "Prologue" to Genesis presents the material in the form of myths within a religious framework and seeks to see extrabiblical tales behind the events of creation, the Fall, the Flood, and the tower of Babel.
- _______, Genesis 12-50. Cambridge Bible Commentary on the New English Bible. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1979. If one makes allowance for the writer's use of Redaktionsgeschichte, this work has some value for it is rich in historical references and has some occasional exegetical insights.
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Davis, John D. Genesis and Semitic Tradition. Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1980. First published in 1894, this conservative work by a Reformed Bible scholar demonstrates the uniqueness as well as the integrity of the OT when compared with literary material from the ancient Near East. Most valuable.
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Davis, John James. Paradise to Prison: Studies in Genesis. Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1975. An indispensable aid to the study of Genesis by one whose archaeological, historical, and philological expertise places him in the forefront of evangelical scholars today. Recommended.
- BORROW THIS BOOK - DeHaan, Martin Ralph. Portraits of Christ in Genesis. Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1995. First published in 1966. These messages comprise the last of DeHaan’s highly readable books. They explores the lives of the men mentioned in Genesis and draw from their experiences the prophetic types that prefigure the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.
- Delitzsch, Franz Julius. A New Commentary on Genesis (see below). Translated by S. Taylor. 2 vols. Minneapolis: Klock & Klock Christian Publishers, 1979. Adopts a moderate approach to the critical theories of authorship. Provides an excellent treatment of the period from Abraham to Joseph. Deserving of careful reading.
- *Dillow, Joseph C. The Waters Above: Earth's Pre-Flood Vapor Canopy. Chicago: Moody Press, 1981. By drawing information from a variety of sources, Dillow provides ample evidence in support of an antediluvian vapor canopy around the earth. His exegesis is thorough and the model he proposes is plausible, explaining thermal and physical phenomena in an understandable manner. Recommended.
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Erdman, Charles Rosenbury. The Book of Genesis: An Exposition. Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1982. First published in 1950, this handy overview of Moses' first book traces the main theme and reveals the relevance of this portion of God's Word through the leading characters.
- Fohr, S. D. Adam and Eve: The Spiritual Symbolism of Genesis and Exodus. Lanham, MD: University Press of America, 1986. Seeks to retrieve the narrative portions of Genesis and Exodus from the limbo to which modern scholarship has relegated them. Develops a symbolic interpretation based upon four ages and a cyclical view of history.
- Gibson, John C. L. Genesis. 2 vols. Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1981-. †Inspired by William Barclay's NT studies, these OT works seek to follow a similar format. Gibson's scholarship is impeccable, but his reliance on extrabiblical source material and adherence to beliefs long identified with the theological left undermine the value of this commentary. "This is liberal scholarship at its worst. Conservative views of this section of scripture are set aside and often ridiculed. Evangelicals should look elsewhere for insights into this vital portion of the Old Testament" (Donald K. Campbell).
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Green, William Henry. The Unity of the Book of Genesis. Also available in *.doc *.pdf *.html Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1979. First published in 1895, this volume answers the adherents of the documentary hypothesis point-by-point. Green maintains the consistency, harmony, unity, and Mosaic authorship of Genesis and succeeds in demolishing higher critical theories with a fairness that is impressive.
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Ham, Ken, and Paul Taylor. The Genesis Solution. Santee, CA: Master Books, 1988. Shows the importance of a proper understanding of the Book of Genesis. Explains how such an approach to the world's and mankind's beginnings is essential to all other forms of knowledge. A good book. Well-reasoned.
- Hamilton, Victor P. The Book of Genesis, Chapters 1--17. New International Commentary on the Old Testament. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1990. Includes sections on the book's title, structure, composition, theology, problems in interpretation, canonicity, the MT, an outline, and a select bibliography. The commentary is based upon the author's own translation, and gives evidence of his extensive knowledge of the ancient Near East, of the writings of others, and of literary and form criticism
- Hamilton, Victor P. The Book of Genesis, Chapters 18--50. New International Commentary on the Old Testament. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans publishing Co., 1995. This prodigious and scholarly work provides readers with linguistic, historical, literary, social and theological information on the text of Genesis and the lives of the Patriarchs. It emphasizes God’s loyalty to His word and illustrates His faithfulness to His covenant. This volume begins with Abraham’s reception of the three “Visitors” and ends with the story of Joseph. Devotional thoughts are interspersed with more technical data., and the result is a work of real merit. (THE FOLLOWING WORK by Hamilton can be borrowed - Handbook on the Pentateuch : Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy - not great detail but has some interesting insights on some of the chapters.
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Hughes, R. Kent. Genesis: Beginning and Blessing. Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2004. This well-outlined exposition of 702 pp. (replete with an index of Hughes’ sermon illustrations) gives evidence of careful preparation. The stories in the book of Genesis are well-known to us, and here they receive fresh analysis and application. Hughes’ critique of human nature is prominent throughout, and he boldly points out the origin of our rebellion against God and continued sinfulness. Also prominent is God’s grace freely bestowed upon His undeserving creatures. Preachers will find that this work contains an abundance helpful information.
- Jacob, Benno. The First Book of the Bible: Genesis. Translated and edited by Ernest I. Jacob and Walter Jacob. New York: Ktav Publishing House, 1974. After rejecting the documentary hypothesis, the author breaks new ground as he correlates the rich heritage of Judaism with the text of Genesis.
- Janzen, J. Gerald. Abraham and All the Families of the Earth: A Commentary on the Book of Genesis 12--50. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1993. “The ever-increasing interdependency of our postmodern era between all people of the earth-- and, between humans and the earth itself--demands that a hermeneutic of salvation history take into account the complexities of world history and embrace the environment. Janzen provides an important contribution toward such a goal by interpreting Israel’s ancestral history in Genesis 12--50 within the larger framework of creation in Genesis 1--11.”--Thomas B. Dozeman.
- Jukes, Andrew. Types in Genesis (see below). Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1976. Reprinted from the eighth (1898) edition, this work concentrates on the spiritual significance of the lives of those mentioned by Moses in his first book (Click for warnings about Typological Interpretation)
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Kikawada, Isaac M., and Arthur Quinn. Before Abraham Was: The Unity of Genesis 1-11. Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1985. After carefully analyzing a century of OT scholarship supporting the documentary hypothesis, these authors affirm the unity of Genesis 1-11. It is hoped that this work will contribute much toward a fresh appreciation of this all important portion of God's Word
- Law, Henry. The Gospel in Genesis (see below). Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth Trust, 1993. Sermons on select verses. Devotional and spiritually edifying, but at times heavily topological (Click for warnings about Typological Interpretation)
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Morris, Henry Madison. The Genesis Record: A Scientific and Devotional Commentary on the Book of Beginnings. (See below for his Study Notes on Genesis) Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1976. Valuable as corollary reading. Of great importance for the scientific data that has been included in the author's exposition. Should be consulted by all who wish to be well-informed on the issues alluded to by Moses. (The Genesis Record : a Scientific and Devotional Commentary can be borrowed)
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Phillips, John. Exploring Genesis: An Expository Commentary. (3 copies available) Grand Rapids: Kregel, 2001. First published in 1980. Designed for beginning Bible students, this work contains some valid applications of truth to life, but does not deal convincingly with some of the problems.
- Sailhamer, John H. Genesis Unbound: A Provocative New Look at the Creation Account. Sisters, OR: Multnomah Books, 1996. “A startlingly refreshing and innovative interpretation of the text of Genesis 1--2. It is an altogether new way of seeking the much needed rapproachment between the young and old earth Bible believers. Not everyone will adopt all of the features of this reverent treatment of the text, but all will find plenty to challenge their thinking in areas that they might have previously thought were consistent with the biblical text. This volume will be talked about for years to come.”-- Walter C. Kaiser, Jr. (BORROW RELATED BOOK The Pentateuch as narrative : a biblical-theological commentary)
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Schaeffer, Francis August. Genesis in Space and Time: The Flow of Biblical History. Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, 1972. In grappling with the dilemmas facing modern man, Schaeffer correctly traces their origin to man's rejection of the early chapters of Genesis. The author from L'Abri explains their relevance in contemporary terms.
- Stedman, Ray C. The Beginnings (see his sermons Genesis 1-32). Waco, Tex.: Word Books, 1978. Covering Genesis 4-11, this sequel to Understanding Man continues the author's expository studies and treats the major events from the sin of Cain to the tower of Babel. Insightful. BORROW THIS BOOK - Friend of God : the legacy of Abraham, man of faith
- Stigers, Harold G. A Commentary on Genesis. Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1975. Information from the recently discovered Ebla texts was not available to the author when he worked on the manuscript of this book. Though the treatment is primarily exegetical, the translation of the Hebrew text is helpful, and the handling of the grammar brings out the nuances inherent in the original. The placing of events in their ancient setting is particularly valuable to preachers. Unfortunately, the work is marred by numerous misspellings of Hebrew words (in their transliteration).
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Swindoll, Charles Rozell. Joseph: A Man of Integrity and Forgiveness. Nashville: Nelson, 1998. Swindoll’s introductions are generally very good. His attempts at relevance frequently deteriorate into trite colloquiums that are “in” today and passé tomorrow. As far as the content of this book is concerned, these chapters lack insight into human nature, sidestep interpretive problems, and emphasize the obvious. What is lacking is the kind of edifying explanation drawn from the lessons of Joseph’s life.
- Thomas, William Henry Griffith. Genesis, A Devotional Commentary (see below). Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1988. Thomas' discussion of Genesis 1--11 attempts to interact with the scientific information current in his day. His treatment of chapters 12--50 is excellent. Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., says of his book: "The outstanding feature of [this work] is the way in which he puts the whole book together, carefully weaving the book's purpose, plan, unity, values, and doctrines into a beautiful, but challenging tapestry." This richly devotional work is ideal for lay study as well as for pastors. Highly recommended
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Waltke, Bruce Keith, and C. J. Fredricks. Genesis : a commentary
Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2001. The authors could have written an erudite work, but instead produced a commentary that can be read by an intelligent layperson. There are many excellencies scattered throughout these pages. The authors do not fit into a preconceived mold. They offer a view of creation that allows for a pre-Adamic race before Genesis 1:1; adopt an amillennial approach to Genesis 12:1-3 (that unfortunately blurs the distinction between “Jews, Gentiles and the Church of God in the NT); make allowance for Moses’ use of documents, and believe that the book was brought to its present state by an unknown editor. - BORROW THIS BOOK - Wenham, Gordon J. Genesis 1--15. Word Biblical Commentary. Waco, TX: Word Books, 1987. This is a work of remarkable erudition. While some will consult it solely to ascertain whether or not Wenham agrees with them on some disputed point, the value of this commentary extends to the writer's discussion of the theology of Genesis, as well as his citation of important contemporary literary sources. While thoroughly conversant with the Documentary Hypothesis, only rarely does Wenham include this information in his treatment of these chapters. This is an exemplary work, and we look forward with anticipation to the publication of vol. 2.)
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Wenham, Gordon J. Genesis 16--50. Word Biblical Commentary. Dallas, TX: Word Publications, 1994. Aims at accuracy in interpreting the original text. Here is a work of exceptional merit. It abounds in preaching values, and is to be highly recommended.
- Westermann, Claus. Genesis, a Commentary. 3 vols. Translated by J. J. Scullion. Minneapolis: Augsburg Publishing House, 1984-86. Follows the European format for contemporary commentaries with an extensive bibliography preceding each section. Adheres to modern critical assumptions of the text's redaction. While the comments on each biblical passage are not particularly scintillating, this is a wide-ranging, well-informed, well-researched, well-documented commentary, and it is well-deserving of consultation.
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Westermann, Claus. Genesis: A Commentary. Translated by J. J. Scullion. In process. Minneapolis: Augsburg Publishing House, 1984- †Scheduled for three volumes, this painstaking commentary covers all of the issues that undergird the development of a sound biblical theology. Westermann adheres to the usual documentary hypothesis and makes use of Formgeschichte and Redaktiongeschichte. Valuable excurses are included in each section. These help readers gain an invaluable understanding of these chapters of Genesis in the development of theology.
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Whitcomb, John Clement, Jr. The World That Perished. Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1973. This supplement to The Genesis Flood and companion volume of The Early Earth brings up to date the author's vast research into the primeval conditions prevailing on the earth before the Deluge, as well as the changes that took place following the Flood
- BORROW THIS BOOK - Youngblood, Ronald, ed. The Genesis debate : persistent questions about Creation and the Flood Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1986. Twenty-two scholars from different theological traditions debate such issues as the length of the days of creation; the age of the earth; evolution vs. creation; the nature of Cain's offering; and so forth. Both sides of an issue are presented by writers convinced that their position is the biblical one. The result is a very handy volume in which a reader can quickly and easily gain an understanding of the pros and cons of the situation. Recommended.

My comments on Clarke's commentary - "Clarke (1760-1832) was Methodist, Wesleyan, Arminian, (e.g., Clarke "suggested that although God can know all future events, He chooses not to know some events beforehand" Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible, page 808). He did not always interpret Scripture literally and so was amillennial (to quote Clarke on 1000 years - "I am satisfied that this period should not be taken literally" [see comment on Rev 20:4] - he interpreted Revelation as a Historicist) which led him to interpret the church as fulfilling many OT promises to Israel. He was influential in development of doctrine of Entire Sanctification (or "Christian perfection"). Clarke did affirm the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, but held a belief of "plenary dynamic inspiration" (idea of every thought inspired), thus falling short of "plenary verbal inspiration" (every single word inspired) (Bib. Sacra: Vol 125, p 163, 1968). In summary, a useful, respected commentary but as with all extra-Biblical resources you are advised to "Be a Berean!" (Acts 17:11+)
James Rosscup - This old, conservative Wesleyan Methodist work is good devotionally and aggressive for righteous living. Laypeople can find it still valuable today. It is Arminian in viewpoint and thus helpful, for example, in showing the reader how this approach deals with texts involving the eternal security question. The work contains much background material from many sources on all books of the Bible.
C H Spurgeon adds that "Adam Clarke is the great annotator of our Wesleyan friends; and they have no reason to be ashamed of him, for he takes rank among the chief of expositors. His mind was evidently fascinated by the singularities of learning, and hence his commentary is rather too much of an old curiosity shop, but it is filled with valuable rarities, such as none but a great man could have collected. Like Gill, he is one-sided, only in the opposite direction to our friend the Baptist. The use of the two authors may help to preserve the balance of your judgments. If you consider Clarke wanting in unction, do not read him for savor but for criticism, and then you will not be disappointed. The author thought that lengthy reflections were rather for the preacher than the commentator, and hence it was not a part of his plan to write such observations as those which endear Matthew Henry to the million. If you have a copy of Adam Clarke, and exercise discretion in reading it, you will derive immense advantage from it, for frequently by a sort of side-light he brings out the meaning of the text in an astonishingly novel manner. I do not wonder that Adam Clarke still stands, notwithstanding his peculiarities, a prince among commentators. I do not find him so helpful as Gill, but still, from his side of the question, with which I have personally no sympathy, he is an important writer, and deserves to be studied by every reader of the Scriptures. He very judiciously says of Dr. Gill, “He was a very learned and good man, but has often lost sight of his better judgment in spiritualizing the text;” this is the very verdict which we pass upon himself, only altering the last sentence a word or two; “He has often lost sight of his better judgment in following learned singularities;” the monkey, instead of the serpent, tempting Eve, is a notable instance." (Spurgeon, C. H. Lectures to my Students, Vol. 4: Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle)
Cyril Barber - First published in 1868. Candlish highlights the doctrinal issues as well as the biographical features contained in this portion of God's Word. In spite of its age, this remains one of the best works for pastors. Recommended.
James Rosscup -This was rated by Spurgeon in Commenting and Commentaries as “the (premier) work on Genesis”. There are 72 chapters in lecture form. Candlish believes in a young earth but alas, the universal fatherhood of God. His work is often helpful in spite of some peculiarities, but not nearly as beneficial as many works since.

James Rosscup writes that "This is a helpful old set of 1863 for laypeople and pastors to have because it usually comments at least to some degree on problems. Though terse, it provides something good on almost any passage, phrase by phrase and is to some degree critical in nature. It is evangelical....Especially in its multi-volume form this is one of the old evangelical works that offers fairly solid though brief help on many verses" (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)
C H Spurgeon writes "Of this I have a very high opinion. It is the joint work of Mr. Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, and Dr. David Brown. It is to some extent a compilation and condensation of other men’s thoughts, but it is sufficiently original to claim a place in every minister’s library; indeed it contains so great a variety of information that if a man had no other exposition he would find himself at no great loss if he possessed this and used it diligently" (Spurgeon, C.

Cyril Barber - Adopts a moderate approach to the critical theories of authorship. Provides an excellent treatment of the period from Abraham to Joseph. Deserving of careful reading.
James Rosscup writes that "The author holds to the Documentary Hypothesis but does not deny the uniqueness of Genesis or minimize the significance and authority of its message. He is careful in the Hebrew and deals with the problems, providing much to aid the expositor." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)

Warren Wiersbe one of the more esteemed modern evangelical commentators writes: If you can locate the six-volume edition of the Expositor’s Bible, buy it immediately! It takes up less space than the original fifty-volume set, and not everything in the original set is worth owning.
Cyril J. Barber - This set, originally published in 1903, contains expositions by both conservative and liberal theologians. The most important works are by Dods (Genesis), Chadwick (Exodus and Mark), Kellogg (Leviticus), Blaikie (Joshua, I and II Samuel), Adeney (Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther), Maclaren (Psalms), Moule (Romans), Findlay (Galatians and Ephesians), Plummer (Pastoral Epistles and the Epistles of James and Jude), and Milligan (Revelation.)

James Rosscup writes that "This dispensationally oriented work is not verse-by-verse, but deals with the exposition on a broader scale, treating blocks of thought within the chapters. Cf. also Arno C. Gaebelein, Gaebelein’s Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible (I Volume, Neptune, NJ: Loizeaux, 1985), the Annotated Bible revised. The author was a popular evangelical Bible teacher of the first part of the century, much like H. A. Ironside in his diligent but broad, practical expositions of Bible books. Gaebelein was premillennial and dispensational, and editor for many years of Our Hope Magazine." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)
C H Spurgeon -- "Beyond all controversy, John Gill was one of the most able Hebraists of his day, and in other matters no mean proficient...His great work on the Holy Scriptures is greatly prized at the present day by the best authorities, which is conclusive evidence of its value, since the set of the current of theological thought is quite contrary to that of Dr. Gill. No one in these days is likely to be censured for his Arminianism, but most modern divines affect to sneer at anything a little too highly Calvinistic (see Calvinism): however, amid the decadence of his own rigid system, and the disrepute of even more moderate Calvinism, Gill’s laurels as an expositor are still green. His ultraism is discarded, but his learning is respected: the world and the church take leave to question his dogmatism, but they both bow before his erudition. Probably no man since Gill’s days has at all equaled him in the matter of Rabbinical learning. Say what you will about that lore, it has its value: of course, a man has to rake among perfect dunghills and dust-heaps, but there are a few jewels which the world could not afford to miss. Gill was a master cinder-sifter among the Targums, the Talmuds, the Mishnah, and the Gemara. Richly did he deserve the degree of which he said, “I never bought it, nor thought it, nor sought it.”
He was always at work; it is difficult to say when he slept, for he wrote 10,000 folio pages of theology. The portrait of him which belongs to this church, and hangs in my private vestry, and from which all the published portraits have been engraved, represents him after an interview with an Arminian gentleman, turning up his nose in a most expressive manner, as if he could not endure even the smell of free-will. In some such a vein he wrote his commentary. He hunts Arminianism throughout the whole of it. He is far from being so interesting and readable as Matthew Henry. He delivered his comments to his people from Sabbath to Sabbath, hence their peculiar mannerism. His frequent method of animadversion (a critical and usually censorious remark) is, “This text does not mean this,” nobody ever thought it did; “It does not mean that,” only two or three heretics ever imagined it did; and again it does not mean a third thing, or a fourth, or a fifth, or a sixth absurdity; but at last he thinks it does mean so-and-so, and tells you so in a methodical, sermon-like manner. This is an easy method, gentlemen, of filling up the time, if you are ever short of heads for a sermon. Show your people firstly, secondly, and thirdly, what the text does not mean, and then afterwards you can go back and show them what it does mean. It may be thought, however, that one such a teacher is enough, and that what was tolerated from a learned doctor would be scouted in a student fresh from college. For good, sound, massive, sober sense in commenting, who can excel Gill? Very seldom does he allow himself to be run away with by imagination, except now and then when he tries to open up a parable, and finds a meaning in every circumstance and minute detail; or when he falls upon a text which is not congenial with his creed, and hacks and hews terribly to bring the word of God into a more systematic shape. Gill is the Coryphaeus (the leader of the Greek chorus and thus the leader of any movement) of Hyper-Calvinism, but if his followers never went beyond their master, they would not go very far astray." (Spurgeon, C. H. Lectures to my Students, Vol. 4: Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle)
James Rosscup adds that "Gill (1697–1771), a pastor of England, wrote these which are two-column pages, ca. 900–1,000 pages per volume, Originally they were 9 volumes, folio. He also wrote Body of Divinity, 3 volumes, and several other volumes. His commentary is evangelical, wrestles with texts, is often wordy and not to the point but with worthy things for the patient who follow the ponderous detail and fish out slowly what his interpretation of a text is. He feels the thousand years in Revelation 20 cannot begin until after the conversion of the Jews and the bringing in of the fullness of the Gentiles and destruction of all anti-Christian powers (volume 6, p. 1063) but in an amillennial sense of new heavens and new earth coming right after Christ’s second advent (pp1064–65), and the literal thousand years of binding at the same time. He feels the group that gathers against the holy city at the end of the thousand years is the resurrected wicked dead from the four quarters of the earth (i.e. from all the earth, etc. (1067)."

James Rosscup rates this as the #1 devotional commentary on Genesis. Rosscup writes "the notes by W. H. Griffith-Thomas...will be a warm devotional help...This work is good in tracing the argument and showing connections between chapters. It is usually quite good devotionally and gives suggestions for meditation at the ends of the chapters. Applications are often usable. It is an excellent book to put into the hands of a layman who is not ready to grapple with the minutia of exegesis, but who is serious about his Bible study. It is also good for the preacher and teacher. Since it is out of print, readers must search in other places for it."

James Rosscup writes that "This is the best older, overall treatment of a critical nature on the Old Testament Hebrew text verse by verse and is a good standard work to buy. The student can buy parts or the whole of this series. Sometimes it is evangelical, at other times liberal ideas enter." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)
C H Spurgeon -- "A work for the learned. It has received the highest commendations from competent scholars. But it is somewhat dull and formal." (Spurgeon, C. H.

C H Spurgeon writes that The Pictorial Bible is "A work of art as well as learning" adding that if one "cannot visit the Holy Land, it is well for you that there is a work like the Pictorial Bible, in which the notes of the most observant travelers are arranged under the texts which they illustrate. For the geography, zoology, botany, and manners and customs of Palestine, this will be your counselor and guide." (Spurgeon, C. H. Lectures to my Students, Vol. 4: Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle) This resource is in one sense somewhat antiquated, but in another sense is timeless with well numerous done illustrations that make the text spring off the page when you read words like "balm of Gilead (pix)". It's pages beckon the reader to tarry a moment and peruse the interesting comments on subjects that might otherwise be quite foreign to readers of a western culture and mindset.

Rosscup notes that "The treatments of books within this evangelical set vary in importance. Generally, one finds a wealth of detailed commentary, background, and some critical and exegetical notes. Often, however, there is much excess verbiage that does not help particularly. On the other hand, it usually has something to assist the expositor on problems and is a good general set for pastors and serious lay people though it is old." (Ibid)
James Rosscup notes that "In this very thorough, monumental work on Genesis, the author is conservative and uses the original Hebrew constantly. He considers carefully most major truths of the book and uses the grammatical-historical method. This is one of the most valuable works to have on Genesis. It came out originally in 1942." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)
What the Bible teaches – Much detail, and loyal to the high view of Scripture. Some very good insights.
Rosscup rates Leupold's commentary as the fifth best detailed exegetical commentary of all time on the book of Genesis. Be aware that Leupold is amillennial.

Mackintosh, a Plymouth Brethren, was a gifted teacher and writer. D L Moody said that "it was C. H. Mackintosh who had the greatest influence" upon his learning of the Word of God. One of his most respected works was Notes on the Pentateuch. Further biographical Note - Another format - Genesis 1-15 ; Genesis 16-50
James Rosscup has a relevant note on Mackintosh's work on the Pentateuch writing that "This is a one-volume edition of an old evangelical devotional work (Genesis to Deuteronomy, Notes on the Pentateuch). It has some value at times, especially for lay readers, yet is not to the point as much with pertinent material as W. H. Griffith-Thomas on the Pentateuch (also old) and John Sailhamer’s recent introductory survey." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)

James Rosscup writes that "This evangelical work is both homiletical and expository and is often very good homiletically but weaker otherwise. Helpful in discussing Bible characters, it is weak in prophecy at times because of allegorization. It is not really as valuable today as many other sets for the serious Bible student. The expositions are in the form of sermons.." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)

Many of these devotionals begin with excellent illustrations. Here is an example from Genesis 1:14-25 -
Carl Linné, better known as Carolus Linnaeus, loved botany and spent a great deal of his time in medical school studying it. In 1735, he published Systema Naturae,a system for classifying living things by using two Latin names--for example, humanity is “homo sapiens.” This work continues to influence modern botanists, especially in their naming methods and use of hierarchical classification. Linnaeus was motivated by a belief in the orderliness of God’s world. He believed that creation would be like a fingerprint, revealing key aspects of the character of the Creator. In making a classification system, he was only discovering an order that was already there.

"The Book of Genesis and Part of the Book of Exodus is a thorough and excellent commentary on the first book of Moses, and the first twenty-five chapters of Exodus. A verse-by-verse examination of the Scripture, this volume by one of the 19th century’s best theologians is illuminating and comprehensive in its erudition of history, language, translation, and interpretation of Genesis and Exodus."

Rosscup notes that "Driver was a careful scholar and aids the expositor in understanding the meanings of difficult phrases...(in his critique of Driver on Exodus Rosscup adds that he has) helpful comments on matters of historical background and word meanings. It helps on problems, though Driver was liberal." (Ibid)
Warren Wiersbe one of the more esteemed modern evangelical commentators writes: If you can locate the six-volume edition of the Expositor’s Bible, buy it immediately! It takes up less space than the original fifty-volume set, and not everything in the original set is worth owning.
Cyril J. Barber - This set, originally published in 1903, contains expositions by both conservative and liberal theologians. The most important works are by Dod (Genesis), Chadwick (Exodus and Mark), Kellogg (Leviticus), Blaikie (Joshua, I and II Samuel), Adeney (Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther), Maclaren (Psalms), Moule (Romans), Findlay (Galatians and Ephesians), Plummer (Pastoral Epistles and the Epistles of James and Jude), and Milligan (Revelation.)

Rosscup comments on Murphy's style in his commentary on Exodus "This old evangelical work of 591 pp. has some value at times for pastors, but so many works are superior. Murphy gives only his own comments, and only now and then any special help. The old writing style slows reading and takes longer to get to a point. Comments often point in a good direction but brevity hampers." (Ibid)

James Rosscup writes that "Morgan was an evangelical master at surveying a book and giving its message within a brief compass. He introduces each book with a chart giving an analysis and synthesis. Revell put it out in a one-volume form in 1959..., and it is adequate to have the one-volume work, since Morgan is broad in his treatment anyway." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)
As an aside G Campbell Morgan would read the book from which he planned to preach as many as 40 times till its related parts became clear in sections and paragraphs! Little wonder he was able to honestly entitle his work "The Analyzed Bible"!
Pastor Morgan has frequent quotes and interesting illustrative stories.

Dr Morris is one of the most well known creationist of modern times and thus his study Bible notes are fairly detailed in the book of Genesis. Recommended to supplement your study of this foundational book of Truth regarding the beginnings of sin and of redemption for when sin abounded in Eden, grace abounded all the more! Hallelujah!
Cyril Barber on Morris' The Genesis Record : a Scientific and Devotional Commentary (It can be borrowed) - Valuable as corollary reading. Of great importance for the scientific data that has been included in the author's exposition. Should be consulted by all who wish to be well-informed on the issues alluded to by Moses.

These studies were presented between Aug 2000 and June 2004 at Washtenaw Independent Bible Church, Ann Arbor, MI. The book is organized into eleven parts, a prolog and then ten parts introduced by the phrase, "These are the generations of X." In each case, "X" is something that has been introduced in the previous section. The heading thus has the sense, "I've told you about X. Now let me tell you how the subsequent history unfolded, based on what you know about X."

Spurgeon Comments: Trapp will be most valuable to men of discernment, to thoughtful men, to men who only want a start in a line of thought, and are then able to run alone. Trapp excels in witty stories on the one hand, and learned allusions on the other. You will not thoroughly enjoy him unless you can turn to the original, and yet a mere dunce at classics will prize him. His writings remind me of himself: he was a pastor, hence his holy practical remarks; he was the head of a public school, and everywhere we see his profound scholarship; he was for some time amid the guns and drums of a parliamentary garrison, and he gossips and tells queer anecdotes like a man used to a soldier's life; yet withal, he comments as if he had been nothing else but a commentator all his days. Some of his remarks are far fetched, and like the far fetched rarities of Solomon's Tarshish, there is much gold and silver, but there are also apes and peacocks. His criticisms would some of them be the cause of amusement in these days of greater scholarship; but for all that, he who shall excel Trapp had need rise very early in the morning. Trapp is my especial companion and treasure; I can read him when I am too weary for anything else. Trapp is salt, pepper, mustard, vinegar, and all the other condiments. Put him on the table when you study, and when you have your dish ready, use him by way of spicing the whole thing. Yes, gentlemen, read Trapp certainly, and if you catch the infection of his consecrated humour, so much the better for your hearers.
