Kerux Commentaries enable pastors and teachers to understand and effectively present the main message in a biblical text. Each volume uniquely combines the insights of an experienced Bible exegete (trained in interpretation) and a homiletician (trained in preaching). These two authors work together to explain the essential message for the original listeners or readers, unpack its timeless truth, and then provide a contemporary restatement and communication insights for the key biblical concept. Every book is a resource designed and written with the real needs of the pastor and teacher always in sight, providing many ways to creatively express the principal thought in a biblical passage. Based on the Big Idea preaching model, Kerux enhances the reader's ability to deliver a message that is biblical, cohesive, and dynamic. While Genesis sits as the very first book of the Bible, many Christians are unaware of the richness this book has to offer. Symbolism, unfamiliar traditions or practices, and cultural differences can make Genesis confusing and difficult to understand, and application nearly impossible. Authors John M. Soden and Randal E. Pelton use the model of deep exegetical insights paired with pastoral teachings to demonstrate how Genesis fits within God's story for creation, as well as what that means for our lives today. Through rich theological insight, pastors, teachers, and theologians alike are invited to think deeply on Genesis, and to investigate the richness that the first book of the Bible has to offer with the goal of sharing that richness with others.
