NIVAC 01: Genesis
Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century
to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow
make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original
meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The
information they offer is valuable - but the job is only half done! The NIV
Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive
task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message
into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it
can speak powerfully today.The Bible begins and ends with a revelation
of God that gives redemption its basis. From the first verse of Genesis, the
book of origins, we encounter a God of personality, character, purpose, and
activity. Only in the light of what he shows us of himself as the Creator of
our world and the Interactor with human history does the salvation story assume
its proper context. Genesis sets things in order: God first, then us.
Especially after the Tower of Babel it became evident that people had
forgotten who God was. They needed reminding. The moves God made were
essentially concerned with putting himself in front of the world's peoples.
Today, perhaps more than ever, we need God to put himself in front of us to
remind us who he is, and that he is. With characteristic creativity and
uncommon depth, Walton demonstrates the timeless relevance of Genesis.
Revealing the links between Genesis and our own times, Walton shows how
this mysterious, often baffling book filled with obscure peoples and practices
reveals truth to guide our twenty-first-century lives.'Walton's
commentary is stimulating and well-written. He navigates the difficult issues
of the book well. Unfortunately, he rarely comments on the relationship between
Genesis and the New Testament.' - Tremper LongmanSeries: NIV
