"The Expositor's Bible: The Book of Genesis" by Marcus Dods is a commentary that looks at the Book of Genesis and gives religious understandings of its main ideas, such as how the world was made, why humans fell from grace, and the stories of the first people. Dods wants to make the text clearer and link the spiritual meanings in Genesis to bigger ideas about right and wrong, and how people relate to God. The book starts by exploring the creation story in Genesis, explaining that it's not a science lesson but a way to show spiritual truths about God and people. The book says that even if the Bible doesn't match science, it's meant to teach about God's plan and why we're here, encouraging people to think about what the scriptures really mean, like what it means to be human, temptation, and how God is always involved in the world.
