Using the historical-grammatical method of Scripture interpretation, the book A Commentary on Genesis 1-11 delves into ten of Genesis' "accounts" of God's saving activity among all mankind and the patriarchs. By understanding the historical nature of these accounts, readers will be given a more thorough comprehension of the beginning of Scripture. The two authors, Carl Lawrenz and John Jeske, have between them taught courses on Genesis to every class of students at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary for half a century. Each author brings a scholar's knowledge of biblical Hebrew, a high view of Scripture as the verbally inspired and inerrant written Word of God, and a keen understanding of God's plan of salvation centered in Jesus Christ. This commentary contains the complete Hebrew text, the authors' own original translations of the text, and a thorough exposition of every verse of Genesis chapters 1-11.
