Old Testaments

Series: T&T Clark’s Study Guides to the Old Testament

This study guide introduces students to the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament. Megan Warner examines the book's structure and characteristics and covers the latest Biblical scholarship, including historical and interpretive issues.

Discussing the nature of Genesis, its creation and purpose and its position within the Hebrew Bible, the themes and theology of creation/uncreation and promise/impossibility, Warner culminates with a number of approaches in which Genesis can be read in the postmodern world, from intersectional and intertextual to political and ecological.

With suggestions of further reading at the end of each chapter, this guide is an essential accompaniment to study of the Book of Genesis.

Reviews for Genesis: An Introduction and Study Guide: A Past for a People in Need of a Future

"This book is a welcome addition to the immense bibliography on Genesis. It is not a rehash of the ""same old stuff."" It introduces readers to the latest in Pentateuchal scholarship and hermeneutical technique in a brief and concise way. It should be required reading in any course on Genesis. This book is designed with serious students of the Pentateuch in mind. They will not be disappointed. * The Bible Today * In this brilliant guide to Genesis, Meg Warner carefully picks her way through intricate debates to shows how contemporary scholarship has brought new insights to this ancient text. She traces not only recent developments in historical-critical approaches, but also introduces perspectives from post-modern approaches including trauma studies, intersectionality, and ecological readings. Warner shows how these different approaches to Genesis can bring out the various dimensions of meaning in this rich and fascinating biblical text. A wonderful resource for students at all levels -- Dr Nathan MacDonald * Nathan MacDonald, Professor of the Interpretation of the Old Testament, University of Cambridge, UK *"
