This volume, a part of the Old Testament Library series, explores the book of Genesis. The Old Testament Library provides fresh and authoritative treatments of important aspects of Old Testament study through commentaries and general surveys. The contributors are scholars of international standing.
A very important and still useful commentary; research and analysis have qualified both the historical background as von Rad understood it and the theories of composition and redaction which he favoured, but his overall approach and many of his conclusions, and especially his overall way of reading the texts in the light of their sitz im leben remain valuable. ( )
Van Rad does a masterful job at relating the basic story of Genesis, amply annotated with textual analysis, as well as poignant interpretation of the material.
This is an older commentary, and does not reflect some current scholarship, but is still one of the best ones you can find on Genesis. ( )

Translator's Preface -- The theological importance of Prof. Gerhard von Rad's commentary on Genesis will readily be appreciated by every reader. Not only does the work illustrate some of the theological implications of the theological studies of Albrect Alt and Martin Noth, but its theological method makes it worthy to be called "one of the outstanding modern commentaries on Genesis."
Foreword to the First Edition -- The following commentary, like every other, results from a very definite phase of our scientific knowledge with all its limits and privileges.
