b'COMMENTARIES AND ORIGINAL LANGUAGE RESOURCESGENESISA Commentary for Biblical Preaching and TeachingJOHN M. SODEN & RANDAL EMERY PELTONKerux Commentaries enable pastors and teachers to understand and effectively present the main message in a biblical text.Each volume uniquely combines the insights of an experienced Bible exegete(trainedininterpretation)andahomiletician(trainedin preaching). These two authors work together to explain the essen-tial message for the original listeners or readers, unpack its timeless truth, and then provide a contemporary restatement and communi-cation insights for the key biblical concept. Every book is a resource designed and written with the real needs of the pastor and teacher always in sight, providing many ways to creatively express the princi-pal thought in a biblical passage.WhileGenesissitsastheveryfirstbookoftheBible,many Christiansareunawareoftherichnessthisbookhastooffer. Symbolism, unfamiliar traditions or practices, and cultural differ-ences can make Genesis confusing and difficult to understand, and application nearly impossible.Authors John M. Soden and Randal Emery Pelton use the model of robust exegesis paired with experienced pastoral care to demon-strate how Genesis fits within Gods story for creation, as well as what that means for our lives today. Through rich theological insight, pas-tors, teachers, and theologians alike are invited to think deeply on Genesis and to investigate the richness that the first book of the Bible has to offer with the goal of sharing that richness with others. Based on the Big Idea preaching model, Kerux enhances the read-ers ability to deliver a message that is biblical, cohesive, and dynamic.John M. Soden (PhD, Dallas Theological Seminary) spent nearly a decade pastoring a church in rural Colorado before an academic career of twenty-five years, teaching college freshmen through PhD students, primarily in Old Testament studies.
