| Abstract | "In 'Genesis,' respected scholar and popular speaker Mary Healy offers a detailed yet accessible interpretation of each passage of Genesis. She opens up the incomparable riches of this book as the beginning of the story of salvation and the foundation of biblical doctrines concerning God, creation, human nature, sexuality and marriage, sin, and God's covenant with Israel. Drawing on Christian tradition, she shows how types and foreshadowing in Genesis point forward to the fulfillment of God's plan in Christ."-- Publisher's website, viewed on June 22, 2026. |
