Review Quotes: Can anything new be said about the early chapters of Genesis? The beauty of this book, part of P&R's welcome Making Sense series, is in its application. No one could better combine exegesis with clarity than Dr. Poythress. As if we needed to be reminded (but we do!), the early chapters of Genesis are an essential key to making sense of who we are and where we are. Seasoned Christians as well as beginners will be deeply edified by this must-read study.--William Edgar, Professor Emeritus of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary
