In the Beginning

by Edward J. Young

La interpretacion del capitulo 3 de Genesis es crucial para nuestra comprension de la Biblia y del Evangelio cristiano. Fue ;la Caida; realmente una etapa en la emancipacion y evolucion del hombre? Es el relato del pecado de Adan y Eva simplemente una parabola que describe como los hombres y las mujeres no alcanzan sus mas altas aspiraciones? O es que Genesis 3 documenta los hechos historicos para involucrarnos en la culpa del pecado de nuestros primeros padres?EDWARD J. YOUNG, un distinguido erudito norteamericano del Antiguo Testamento, fue el autor de Thy Word is Truth (Tu Palabra es verdad) y muchos otros titulos. La presente obra es un estudio tanto exegetico como devocional, muy apropiado y pertinente para el testimonio cristiano en la actualidad.

It was an enjoyable read. Young is dogmatic in the right places. It is not extensive commentary as these are taken from address in the last year of his life 1967.
I thought there was a nice gem in the appendix justifying the Westminster Confession ch7 section 2 wording on the Covenant with man.
"The first covenant made with man was a covenant of works,wherein life was promised to Adam, and in him to his posterity,upon condition of perfect and personal obedience."
He simply and logically set out the case that this is correct held and prefers to call it the covenant of life.

Earnest and direct commentary on the creation and fall narrative. Young stakes out a traditional position and defends it with the urgency and passion of the last guy on the wall.

Plenty of gems here from a great expositor.
