In OT302 Book Study: Genesis, Dr. John Walton shows how Genesis came to be; how this biblical text can speak to crucial contemporary questions about gender, science, and more; and how teachers and pastors can exegete important Genesis passages. Anyone responsible for speaking or teaching on the Old Testament won’t want to miss Dr. Walton’s exposition of the entire book of Genesis.
