Todd, they’re all good. Waltke is a favorite.

Justin,
Have one or more of these resources emerged as a favorite? I’m getting ready to do some personal study in Genesis and am looking to pick up a commentary or two to add to my library and was just curious as to your recommendations.

Hi Justin:
I think it’s a great idea and can’t wait to be a part of this study. Pat Portman taught a bible study lesson a few years ago and it affected me in a good way.

I envy you and your job. :) The thought of being able to pour myself into researching and writing so completely….some day.

You need John Currid’s two volumes.

Looking forward to your study guide — I recently read through Genesis and have a few questions, but not enough time to read through a huge pile of books like the one you’ve pictured above.

Justin,
I recently wrote a study on Genesis that we went through in our adult small groups. While there were sections I was not entirely happy with, it might be somewhat useful.
We did it in two parts:
Part 1- http://www.asgrace.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/genesis-study-guide-pt-1.pdf
Part 2-
http://www.asgrace.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/genesis-study-guide-pt-2.pdf
For what its worth, I found Waltke’s commentary to be the best out there hands down.

Hi Justin
These sermons on Genesis by Dr Willie Philip, minister of St George’s Tron here in Glasgow are excellent!

Beyond the creation account I am excited for this study and will pray for you as you do this, there’s quite a bit of history and content in Genesis though we always get hung up on creation. I will pray that God will teach you things and that you can communicate them and the excitement that you will no doubt gain from this study. Such a huge chunk of history is contained in Genesis. I can’t wait to see the finished product.

Creation & Blessing by Allen Ross is one of my favorite Genesis tools. Glad to see you giving that one a read!

Justin, not that you need more books on Genesis. But first I am in agreement with James Gordon. MG Kline’s Kingdom Prologue is must reading (though hard reading) on Genesis. He needs to be read for many reasons but his view on the framework theory is definitely worth it.
Henri Blocher has a great book called In the Beginning.
John Sailhamer’s book on Genesis is quite fascinating. I don’t agree with everything, but definitely a good read.
I used to have U Cassuto’s Commentaries, but sold them. They were the standard for a while.
But The best out there I think are Gordon Wenahm’s Word Biblical Commentary on Genesis. Victor Hamilton in the NICOT is pretty good as well. If there was one that I would get, it would be Wenham’s two-volume.
Just my 2 cents.

That is quite an undertaking, but it looks like you are well-equipped with those sources. I look forward to learning from your studies in the future!

It looks like you have enough books on Genesis already, but one more that you might want to look into is Meredith Kline’s Kingdom Prologue: Genesis Foundations for a Covenantal Worldview. It is tremendous. I look forward to reading your study guide.

hi
re: genesis studies, I recommend listening to the 3 Keller sermons on work/ rest on the reformissionary site referenced on your blog. They have some interesting insights on gen 2
