Five Stars I found Coleson's commentary on Genesis 1-11 to be very helpful for the pastor/scholar. Coleson's mastery of the Hebrew language gives clarity and insight into some of the more difficult and obscure passages that many other commentaries usually pass over or give little attention to. Once Coleson has presented his understanding of the text, he goes on to challenge your . Five Stars James Real Everything was excellent.
