This is a fantastic commentary IF you are looking for one that aids your teaching and preaching. The format is excellent; the first half of the book is a succinct paragraph by paragraph commentary and the second part is an overview of major theological themes in Genesis. McKeown in his commentary portion addresses all the major issues and gives some thought-provoking insights to aid the preacher and teacher. He also includes Hebrew vocabulary in actual Hebrew with a transliteration next to it. Too many commentaries pass over the original language, and yet this one, which is not even technical, helpfully includes the Hebrew. There is a very helpful section in the second half of the book that fairly deals with Genesis and modern science.
