Ebooks Online

Concise, student-friendly introduction to Genesis   Iain Provan here offers readers a compact, up-to-date, and student-friendly introduction to the book of Genesis, focusing on its structure, content, theological concerns, key interpretive debates, and historical reception.   Drawing on a range of methodological approaches (author-, text-, and reader-centered) as complementary rather than mutually exclusive ways of understanding, Discovering Genesis encourages students to dig deeply into the theological and historical questions raised by the text. It provides a critical assessment of key interpreters and interpretive debates, focusing especially on the reception history of the biblical text, a subject of growing interest to students and scholars of the Bible.

Excellent scholarship whether or not one agrees with Provan's conclusions. I found his interaction with Genesis and the history of its scholarship most refreshing and quite brilliant in places throughout.
