NAC 01B: Genesis 11 - 50

'The strength of the New American Commentary is that it genuinely focuses on
what the text says. This does not mean that the authors are out of touch with
the vast array of secondary literature; rather it means they are committed to
putting first things first. Pastors and Bible teachers will be grateful for
this resource for years to come.' - D.A. Carson'Matthews has
produced an excellent study of the primeval history with an emphasis on the
text as literature and theology. He does not shrink from the difficult
historical and philological issues either. He navigates well the relationship
between these chapters and ancient Near Eastern literature. He interacts
extensively with the modern discussion of issues of historicity.' -
