Praise for the current volume:

“This is an impressive volume. The section-by-section commentary is well done, but the gold mine is the author’s careful analysis of the reception history of Genesis in the rest of the canon, especially the New Testament, as the title suggests. The writer shows awareness of a vast amount of literature from Second Temple, Roman, and rabbinic times that contributes to the history of interpretation of Genesis. This commentary is an invaluable resource for reading Genesis canonically for the sake of preaching the Gospel and living the Christian life.”
—Richard E. Averbeck, author of The Old Testament Law for the Life of the Church: Reading the Torah in the Light of Christ

“I wish James Edwards would stay in his lane! Here he is, a noted New Testament scholar, commenting on Genesis at length, with great care and deep insight. Christian readers will find especially welcome Edwards’s attention to what he calls the kerygma of each interpreted unit. Here, not unlike Childs in his celebrated Exodus commentary, Edwards pays attention to the larger canonical context, including the New Testament. Readers will find much to savor here and will find themselves instructed if not also inspired. Who knows? I may take up Matthew myself!”
—Brent A. Strawn, author of The Old Testament: A Concise Introduction

Praise for the author’s Pillar New Testament Commentary on Mark:

“The present volume should have broad appeal to lay persons, ministers, and scholars as it fits within Pillar’s purpose of exacting, accurate exegesis without being overly technical. Yet, this commentary is not a lightweight: the text and footnotes reflect both rigorous research and a thorough use of the most recent Markan scholarship.”
—Southwestern Journal of Theology

Praise for the author’s Pillar New Testament Commentary on Luke:

“A first-rate commentary, written by a seasoned New Testament exegete, reflecting the wisdom and insight we have come to expect from its author. It is built on a foundation of excellent scholarship and in dialogue with the best secondary literature; its approach to the text is reverent and edifying. . . . Immensely rewarding.”
—Donald A. Hagner, author of The New Testament: A Historical and Theological Introduction
