Pink's insight into the Scriptures is staggering. He does a masterful job of linking the major themes of the Old Testament to the New Testament. He also brings out some fascinating types and shadows that provide great insight as to the nature of Jesus. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to go deeper into the Word.
Gleanings in Genesis by Arthur W. Pink. I was surprised by his insights into this first book of the Bible. His commentary broached subjects that I need to reconsider (i.e. the gap theory between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2) and presented those subjects in a unique style. He writes in an easy to read manner. I couldn't put it down. Even my wife who is not a reader was facinated by its content and readability. Pastor Pink ties almost every verse in Genesis to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He also references his writings extensively which is very helpful. I believe that any student of the Bible must have this book!
This is a book that should be in the library of every Christian. That is, if you want a deeper understanding of God, a deeper understanding of yourself, and a new found awe of the divine authorship of the Holy Scripture. This book is not intended as an exhaustive commentary on Genesis. Pink himself says that the book is intended to bring forth some of the "gleanings" from this incredible Scripture. What it really is, is a book that picks up on, identifies, and speaks briefly on many themes, doctrines, types, etc. that run through the entire Bible. I came away with a deeper understanding of God, his character, and nature, as well as my own fallen nature, and more importantly, a much deeper knowledge, and thankfulness for His Grace, for without it, I (we all) would be lost. Pink frequently throws out undeveloped thoughts and states that the faithful reader will profit greatly by studying the various scriptures he cites. This is a book that definitely invites separate study, and as the author suggests, you very definitely profit thereby! This book is faith expanding, it will give the novice, or the professional theologian, meat to chew on. Pink is relatively easy to read and is, I think, one of the most under-rated Christian authors/thinkers of the past several generations.
I had heard for some time that one can find Jesus on every page of the old testimanet but could not see it myself. I went in prayer and ask for understanding of how Jesus could actually be seen in every page. God sent me to this book by A. W. Pink and this book answers that prayer magnificantly. If as a Christian, you desire to know Jesus better and more intimately then studying this book will help. I highly recomend this book.
We're using this commentary in a men's Bible study group. I was skeptical at first, but have to come to embrace many of the typologies that Pink presents. It helps paint a clear picture of things to come. Back in those days, before the printing press, Biblical truths were passed on by word of mouth, which would give believers a sense of hope. It is interesting seeing the hope of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ, back in the early OT books and events. Some points are absolutely brilliant, regarding the schemes of Satan, as he tried to destroy or corrupt the "SEED" that would be his eventual downfall:corruption of mankind before the flood, destroying the seed that would lead to Abraham, attacks on Israel, Herod's killing of the infants at the time of Jesus, etc.
This is just another great book by A.W. Pink. If you read the other reviews closely, you will see that nobody complains about the book, just how it was formatted for their electronic readers. If you want to know deeper insights into the word of God, I would recommend any of Pink's books.
This is not an exhaustive exposition of Genesis by Arthur Pink, instead he takes the major characters and the scriptural events and explains them in context of the Biblical themes that are subsequent to it. These include the Fall, the Ark and Abraham's life, etc. It is worth reading because of his scholarly ability to explain the spiritual side of the events. The Watchmaker company did a very good job of reprinting this book.
AW Pink has become one of my favorite authors in studying Scripture. Depth, truth, explanation I can understand. If you get Genesis, you get all of Scripture. I love this study and the subtle differences in words. Powerful!
