CASB 4: The Book of Genesis, 1-11
This is a one of a kind work. This fourth volume of the CASB series provides the reader with one of the most exegetically detailed works on Genesis ever produced for the Catholic market. Its 710 pages begin with a fresh translation of Genesis based on a literal, word-for-word rendering. Using the original Hebrew and Greek Septuagint, the CASB Genesis delves deeply into the grammatical nuances and the contextual background as few commentaries have done before, yet with an ease of reading to which one has become accustomed in the CASB series. As the reader will see, the unique methodology of the CASB becomes especially useful when the most important parts of the book of Genesis, chapters 1 through 11, are studied and digested. The detailed exegesis provides fresh insights into the varying creation accounts, the Fall, the genealogies, the Sons of God, the Nephilim, Noah's flood, and much more. With all the CASB volumes, this one also includes detailed and comprehensive Apologetics Commentaries, touching upon such subjects as creation vs. evolution, the Documentary Hypothesis, the date of Adam, the firmament and geocentrism; with special sections on Augustine and Blessed Hildegard, and a catalogue of all the Fathers' and Medievals' views on everything from the length of the Genesis day to the sphericity of the earth. Also included are 200 pages of dialogues between the author and various secular and theistic evolutionists. Most of all, with the information the CASB Genesis provides, the reader will find himself well-educated to contest not only the secular critics of Genesis arising since the time of Darwin, but also the clerical critics who, because of the onslaught of modern science, have more or less abandoned Genesis to the realm of myth and metaphor. A must buy for your library.
