The book of Genesis was written in a world filled with gods and deities of all shapes, sizes and dispositions. In our current age, we no longer worship the sun, the stars and mythical deities. Instead, our modern gods are largely material, social and ideological - but they still pose threats.

In this commentary, Andrew Reid gives readers a framework for appreciating the Old Testament as Christian scripture. He shows how Genesis renews our hope for the future - as we see God the Creator begin His plan of salvation to redeem His world and His people.
