Genesis is a book of origins: of the world, of sin, of God’s promise of redemption, and of the people of Israel. It traces God’s pledge to send a Saviour through Abraham’s line down to his great-grandson Judah. It is foundational for the New Testament and its teaching that Jesus is the fulfilment of God’s promise to save humankind from sin and death. Andrew Steinmann’s thorough exegetical commentary includes a reconstructed timeline of events from Abraham’s life through to the death of Joseph.
