Nearly twenty-six years after the publication of the first edition, Kenneth Mathews has revised and updated his celebrated commentary on Genesis 1-11. Continuing the expansive scope of the first edition, Mathews makes the second edition even more accessible for ministers and Bible students. He brings together careful exegesis with theological and practical relevance for a new generation. Genesis 1-11 is part of the Christian Standard Commentary (CSC) series. This commentary series focused on the theological and exegetical concerns of each biblical book, while paying careful attention to balancing rigorous scholarship with practical application. This series helps the reader understand each biblical book's theology, its place in the broader narrative of Scripture, and its importance for the church today. Drawing on the wisdom and skills of dozens of evangelical authors, the CSC is a tool for enhancing and supporting the life of the church.
