Creation & Blessing (Genesis)

A Guide to the Study and Exposition of Genesis.An exceptionally
helpful guide for pastors and teachers. Its literary, exegetical, and
theological analyses will enrich any exposition of Genesis. The author's
purpose is to 'help the reader appreciate the major literary and theological
motifs that form the theological ideas in the narratives, and to demonstrate
how these theological ideas can be developed into clear and accurate expository
ideas.' To accomplish this goal, he divides Genesis into more than sixty units,
discussing each unit's theological ideas, describing its structure, and
synthesizing its message, as well as providing an exegetical outline, an
expository outline, and a bibliography. 'Ross has written an
excellent study guide to Genesis. His prodigious book, which he refrains from
calling a commentary, contains fine scholarship and an excellent survey of
previous work on this first book of the Bible. His writing is so interesting
that the book became for me more than a source; it became bedside reading
material. Creation and Blessing is an essential reference work for those
interested in the Pentateuch and biblical narrative. [...] Ross aims this
detailed and lengthy study of Genesis at pastors, teachers and seminary
students who seek to develop an understanding of Genesis and narrative
literature in general. He succeeds admirably. [...] For those preaching and
writing on Genesis, and for those who love the book as great theology and
literature, Ross's work is essential.' - R. G. Branch'Ross
presents an evangelical alternative to the documentary approach. The bulk of
his treatment, however, is more like a running exposition with an emphasis on
theology. As such it is often insightful and helpful. A good book, especially
for pastors preaching through the book of Genesis.' - Tremper
