Description: The first part of Victor P. Hamilton's two-volume study of Genesis in the NICOT series, this commentary contributes a solid, thorough explication of the wealth and depth of material embedded in Scripture's foundational book.

Hamilton's substantive introduction—which serves both this volume and the one covering chapters 18–50—discusses the structure of Genesis and its composition, its theology, the problems involved in its interpretation, its canonicity, and the Hebrew text itself. The commentary proper, based on Hamilton's own translation, evidences his extensive knowledge of the ancient Near East and of contemporary scholarship, including literary, form, and text criticism. Siding with the arguments in favor of the literary and theological unity of the Genesis text, Hamilton stresses the main theme running throughout the book—God's gracious promise of blessing and reconciliation in the face of evil and sin.

A unique feature of this book is Hamilton's emphasis on the reading of Genesis by the New Testament community. Following his commentary on each section of Genesis, he discusses where and how the New Testament appropriated material from that section and incorporated it into the message of the New Covenant.

"The best of current evangelical scholarship. . . . Biblical scholars and informed laypersons will find this an excellent resource for the study of Genesis."
—Hebrew Studies

"Hamilton's work is a thorough treatment of the meaning of the text. . . . One of the best commentaries on Genesis available for expositors."
—Bibliotheca Sacra

"A substantial contribution to the study of the first part of Genesis. Its strengths lie in Hamilton's philological, grammatical, and comparative Semitic work, as well as in his useful synthesis of prior research. It is a work that every researcher in this ancient text will want to consult."
—Themelios
