Of course, Augustine didn't have the benefit of reading Genesis through Rashi, Aquinas, Barth, Ochs, and even modern historical critics. This is the right way to read scripture--as a multigenerational exegetical workshop among Christians, Jews, and interested others, not looking for more or less reliable historical information or literary pre-history but for the sort of wisdom that instills love and finally holiness.\"--\u003cb\u003eJason Byassee\u003c\/b\u003e, Vancouver School of Theology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"For Reno, the overriding concern of Genesis corresponds to the goal of exegesis: God gives us his promise so that we may move forward ever more deeply into the beginning, into the mystery of Christ. The result is a passionately written commentary that dissolves the divide between exegesis and theology as well as the gap between exposition and application. Those wondering how we might possibly follow in the footsteps of our premodern interpreters of scripture can do no better than to read Reno's commentary.\"--\u003cb\u003eHans Boersma\u003c\/b\u003e, Regent College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral editor: \u003cb\u003eR.
