Description
The first chapters of Genesis are the foundation of Jewish and Christian traditions. These inaugural pages reveal the creation of the world, the fall of humanity, the promise of redemption, and the beginning of salvation history. Interpreters have long focused on the rich passages recounting the six days of creation, the tragic events that unfolded from the expulsion of the first parents to the catastrophe of the Flood, and the allegorical sign of hope in the ark of Noah. The Reformers provided insightful readings of these passages, finding connections between their era and the tragedies and promises of God's providential election and governance. This volume collects the comments of notable thinkers like Luther, Calvin, Melanchthon, Johannes Brenz, Wolfgang Capito, Hans Denck, Wolfgang Musculus, Johannes Oecolampadius, and Peter Martyr Vermigli, offering fresh perspectives on familiar passages.
