More informationContains both volumes of Victor P. Hamilton's Genesis commentary from the NICOT series. Volume 2 (chapters 18-50) is recognized as a standard work in evangelical scholarship, while volume 1 (chapters 1-17) is solid but not as widely cited. Both offer thorough exegetical detail with strong ancient Near Eastern context.
