I've read a decent number of these, not the whole book. I enjoy the expository writings of C. H. Mackintosh, they are very accessible. It's a little confusing that they are called "Notes" because they sound like sermons or lectures; each chapter is a coherent whole, and it is certainly not a verse-by-verse commentary. It was years ago but I remember really enjoying his thoughts on Abraham and Terah in Genesis 11–12.
So rich, rewarding, and revealing are these notes on the first book of the Bible. I have read through Genesis many times before but never gleaned precious truths about Jacob, for example, that I read here. I am grateful to the Lord for His insights He surely pressed upon His faithful servant, Charles Henry Mackintosh. Treasures galore lie within these pages.
This was a fine, easy read that both explores the history of the book of Genesis, but also includes the spritual points and ties it to the foreshadowing of Christ. Very enjoyable.
