The exegesis and eisegesis of the book of Genesis by William E. Comb is satisfying. The book is giving a new look and direction in understanding the origin of sin and its clear analysis. Evidently in the novel, the fall and the rise mankind is vividly depicted. The knowledge of good and evil is captured in way fathomed by anybody without misunderstandings.
The key objective of this book is reexamining how sin came into the world in garden of Eden through Eve and Adam. The strives of the Lord redeeming us are also captured by His grace through faith.
William has skillfully cleared the misunderstanding and misinterpretation of some parts of the book of Genesis that is the meaning of death slapped upon man and the forbidden fruit. He has widely interpreted by artistically using knowledge from other biblical context and real world testimonials.
William has spelt out that the Gospel has not changed nor has it lost its relevance. The statement is the perception of the people in world towards the Gospel. This book is attempting to provide remedial by changing the attitudes individuals are holding towards the Gospel and proposing some solutions to this menace. He asserts that it is not due to lack of committed followers of God sharing the word virtually. As he's quoted in John "We are the salt of the earth. If nonbelievers consider the Gospel is no longer relevant the way they see themselves, then our 'salt' has lost its saltiness and can not function as a flavour and preservative for our world if their perception of sin is diminished to a litany of offenses, then the Holly Spirit's ability to convict the world of sin so the father can draw people to His son Jesus Christ is also limited ."
From the context, it is the people who have lost their saltiness and not the Gospel. Therefore Gospel is as God's remedy to people.
Honestly, I liked every part of this book. The way William interpreted the meaning of nakedness and the three types of death is very interesting. The presentation of man having weak character and being easily persuaded to go against God's will is vividly portrayed.
This is a religious book narrated descriptively in attempt to preach the Gospel. I have not come across any grave mistake that can bar one from fathoming the book. So I would rate this book 4 OUT OF 4 STARS. I would recommend this book to those who are religious both weak in faith and staunch ones. Otherwise it is a book that can be read by anybody.
