The introduction alone is worth the price of the book. Really confronts what we experience in popular exegesis and even scholarly exegesis with good ole common sense.

“Biblical narrative presents language as … 1) intrinsic to God’s own being and activity, 2) clear evidence that Adam and Eve were distinctive creatures made in God’s image, 3) inseparable from the mandate to Adam and Eve to rule creation.”

Excellent warnings against overinterpretation when studying original languages:
"An interpreter is unwise to emphasize an idea that allegedly comes from the use of a tense unless the context as a whole clearly sets forth that idea. ...if [the context] doesn't, then the use of the grammatical detail becomes irrelevant; if it does, then the grammar is at best a pointer to, not the basis of, the correct interpretation."
