Exegetical Recommendations

[Margaret]

I'm looking for exegetical resources particularly for Genesis 22. I'd love to hear your recommendations, suggestions or ideas. Thanks

[MGVH]

Though not directly exegetical resources, the most insightful readings of Genesis 22 with which I am familiar are:

-Shalom Spiegel's The Last Trial
-Erich Auerbach's "Odysseus' Scar" in Mimesis (online at: http://www.clt.astate.edu/wnarey/odysseus'_scar.htm )
- Soren Kirkegaard's Fear and Trembling (online at: http://www.religion-online.org/cgi-bin/relsearchd.dll/showbook?item_id=2068 )

Helpful Commentaries on Genesis include:
Gordon Wenham, Word Biblical Commentaries (he'll supply a bibliography for that chapter also)
Victor Hamilton, New International Commentary on the Old Testament
Waltke (published by Zondervan)
Leupold (I have a used copy published by Baker)
Kidner, Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries

[Mark Langley]

I would recommend Calvin, Gill, Lange, Ainsworth, Hengstenberg, Alford, Candlish, James Murphy, Leupold.

Margaret – May I suggest that we learn Hebrew text from the Hebrews!

The Art Scroll Series by Mesorah Publications is an excellent place to start. This will give you a Hebrew perspective on the text as well as some exegetical insight and commentary.

I use it for foundational studies, and then build from there.



ISBN: 0-89906-362-4 two book series.
