This book isn’t a bible commentary as a student of the Word would understand a commentary to be. It is more of a meditative aid that deal with daily readings for five days of the week and a number of questions on the passage. The passage is printed in the text, so there is no going backwards and forwards between the book and a separate bible. Rather than a traditional commentary that gives factual information about the biblical text, this encourages the reader to engage and grapple with the text for themselves. I must agree with a previous reviewer who said that it ought to be labelled as a devotional rather than a commentary.
I would say that this is definitely more devotional than commentary. I was expecting more of a traditional commentary, like the kinds I used in Seminary. I would recommend this be relabelled as a devotional study through the book of genesis, as the word commentary would throw people like it did me.
