Book Review--Genesis: A Commentary by Bruce Waltke

This morning we have posted the following review at SharperIron.org. I thoroughly appreciate Douglas Brown's work on this review. There are many ways to do book reviews (some better than others), so as I anticipated posting a review of this commentary I was concerned to present this in a way that would be most beneficial to the general reader. I am pleased with the final outcome of this review and hope you will find it helpful, too.
