The Brethren Old Testament Commentary series aims to give a readable explanation of the Old Testament text, with loyalty to Anabaptist and Pietist values.
No book of the Bible is more important than the book of Genesis. In Genesis, God reveals truth about the beginning of all things, and therefore its message is basic to the information set forth in the rest of the Bible. Thus all seekers of truth should study Genesis and fix their hearts and minds on the message it declares.
Reading this study tool is not a substitute for reading the book of Genesis itself, but this volume can be a help to those who read the Bible chapters and check the comments here as they read the Bible text.
The BOTC commentary is not intended to be a detailed or technical guide for advanced Bible students, but in simple terms it seeks to connect the accounts within Genesis to one another. The commentary also attempts to explain the portions of Genesis that are more difficult to understand.
In this study tool, readers will become more familiar with the accounts of creation, Adam and Eve, Noah and the Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the patriarchs of Israel.
