Genesis

Meredith G. Kline is famous in the Reformed community

for his teaching and writings in the area of biblical and

covenant theology. In the mid-1990s, just after Kline finished

writing what is considered to be his magnum opus (a study

of the book of Genesis called Kingdom Prologue), he wrote a

brief commentary on the same biblical text. Genesis: A New

Commentary was not published during his lifetime and is just

now being made available to the public.

Many of Kline s former students, as well as many pastors and

laypeople in the Reformed community, consider his work to have

had a transformative effect on their faith and thinking. His teaching

and writings (he wrote seven books and more than seventy

articles) were filled with fresh, insightful interpretations.

Meredith Kline s posthumously published Genesis: A New

Commentary which distills his mature views on the book of

Genesis and, indeed, on Scripture as a whole will appeal greatly

to those who already admire his work, and make his thinking

accessible to a broader audience. The commentary has been

edited by Kline s grandson Jonathan G. Kline, who received his

PhD in Hebrew Bible from Harvard University, and contains a

foreword by Michael S. Horton, the J. Gresham Machen Professor

of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster

Seminary California.
