Recent years have seen a remarkable surge in interest in the book of Genesis - the first book of the Hebrew Bible, and a foundational text of Western culture. In this new commentary, Thomas Brodie offers a complete and accessible overview of Genesis from literary, theological, and historicalstandpoints. Brodie''s work is organized around three main ideas. The first is that the primary subject of Genesis is human existence; the second is that Genesis'' basic organizational unity is binary, or diptych. Brodie argues that the entire book is composed of diptychs - accounts which, like somepaintings, consist of two parts or panels. Finally, Brodie contends that many of Genesis'' sources still exist, and can be identified and verified. Less
