All the Genealogies of the Bible: Visual Charts and Exegetical Commentary
The Bible contains hundreds of genealogies that fulfill many different purposes, but the significance of these genealogies can be difficult to grasp. In All the Genealogies of the Bible, Nancy Dawson visual presents every genealogy in the Bible, providing an essential guide to biblical understanding of chronology, lineage, history, and culture. Esteemed biblical scholars Eugene Merrill and Andreas Kostenberger supplement Dawson's work with brief commentary on each genealogy. Dawson works with both complete genealogies and partial lists, piecing together names in different passages to illustrate the interrelationships of various biblical characters for deeper study. Including more than 340 genealogies, All the Genealogies of the Bible is organized in biblical order and is equipped with tools you'll need to navigate the book easily:
• A detailed table of contents
• A Complete Index of Names
• Comprehensive cross-referencing
A one-of-a-kind reference work, All the Genealogies of the Bible will be useful for pastors, Bible teachers, students, and anyone wanting to study the Bible more deeply from the unique vantage point of its many genealogies.

‘Readers of the Bible are indebted to Dr Dawson for providing us with an exhaustive guide to what are probably the least accessible passages in Scripture - including the regulations of distinguishing between clean and unclean in Leviticus - and meticulously unpacking the information each contains and the significance of the family connections that the authors of Scripture thought so important as to include.’ David A Desilva, Trustees’ Distinguishing Professor of New Testament and Greek, Ashland Theological Seminary
