Purchase options and add-ons

Written by a creationist scientist as a narrative exposition rather than a critical verse-by-verse analysis, this unique commentary on the whole book of Genesis is equally useful to both the theologically trained and the layperson.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Logically compelling and eminently readable, The Genesis Record is the first commentary on the complete Book of Genesis written by a creation scientist. Through engaging narrative rather than a critical verse-by-verse analysis, Dr. Henry M. Morris explores the important historical, scientific, and theological information and implications found in the first book of the Bible.

Writing from the conviction that the first eleven chapters of Genesis are as truly historical as the remaining thirty-nine, Dr. Morris helps both the scholar and the layperson develop a fulsome understanding and firm affirmation of a young earth and universe, a real Adam and Eve, a catastrophic worldwide flood, and more. This conviction is based not simply on faith but on many years of study of the scientific aspects of the Genesis record, as well as the interchange of ideas with many other scientists and theologians (both creationist and evolutionists).

Dr. Morris is a capable guide through the important corridors of earth's early history, providing the background so necessary in understanding all of Scripture, and showing how a faithful reading of Genesis affects our Christian life in the twenty-first century.

About the Author

Henry M. Morris (1918-2006) was a young Earth creationist, Christian apologist, and engineer. One of the founders of the Creation Research Society and the Institute for Creation Research, he spent much of his career teaching at major universities and was coauthor with John C. Whitcomb of The Genesis Flood.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024

    While the world is turning against the Jews yet again, it’s important to study the truth about this complex, multidimensional people of God. The book of Genesis gives us that historical account as well as reveals God’s plan for all of humanity.

    Dr. Morris’ book guides the reader through the text and fleshes out details from history, science, and most importantly: Scripture.

    Though the Bible text is from the KJV and broken with pronunciation characters and sometimes odd symbols, it’s very easy to read your own preferred translation in parallel.

    Highly recommended. This is my second read through.

    Henry M. Morris was amazing! I've purchased 3 of these over the years. This is a must for all bible believers. I also highly recommend, "The Remarkable Record of Job". Henry Morris brings things out of the scriptures that will shock, surprise and enlighten you. You will be asking yourself, "Why didn't I see that and why hasn't anyone else ever seen this?". If you aren't a bible believer but you are wanting to see the bible in a different light; if you want to see it unlike organized religion has presented it, this is one book/commentary that will do that. I would also recommend "The Remarkable Record of Job", for the same reason.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2011

    I bought this book for my friend (about 50 years old), who is really into these theories and creation research... He is a good fellow. He believes in Christ, just as I do, and has a passion in looking at and examine God's word. This book, The Genesis Record, opens up the first book of both the bible and the books of Moses, which is Genesis. The word Genesis means "beginning", but a closer translation to it is "origin". The book of Genesis really shows the origin of our world, and "our" faith, Christianity, and the author, Henry M. Morris, helps the reader learn about this it. It is amazing how the whole bible is based (founded) upon the book of Genesis. The New Testament books also refer back to the book of Genesis many times. This is not all. Looking at the book of Genesis we can examine it, and compare it to the book of Revelations, (the last book of the bible), and see how the were/will be many similarities and many contrasts in the Garden of Eden and the New Earth and Heaven (the New Jerusalem). I have only read the first chapter (of the 22) of the book, but it was so enlightening. I like this book also because it helps the people in faith, the reader of the bible, God's word, to understand more the book of Genesis. It helps the reader to look at Genesis not just as a book about generations, and little stories, but rather to look at it as it connects the whole bible together, shows God's plan for mankind, and also helps to see how this book came to be.

    I am young in my faith, but I believe that God is able to help me study his word, and to look at other sources (carefully (so not to be deceived to understand His being more and more each day...

    Thanks, David

    This book was required reading for a Pentateuch class. However, I continued to be blown away chapter after chapter to the way this book was woven together. In fact, the way the story of Joseph was told, literally had me in tears and that I am certain was not the author’s point. But the gravity in the way he expressed the telling of that story and the position of Judah in his repentant heart to Joseph…goodness…well worth the read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" read for every Theistic Evolutionist.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 28, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    An extremely well-written book being, as the cover says, both a scientific and devotional commentary on the 'Book of Beginnings. Whether the reader is a believer in six literal days of creation or believes in God but "evolution is the way He did it" the book is a useful tool, exploring every aspect of the narrative thoroughly. The latter often believe it doesn't really matter if the Genesis record is taken literally or not but this book will make you really consider that position afresh.
    You don't have to accept all that the author says, of course, and the material is presented in such a way that you can turn to any of the 22 itemised chapters to study and contemplate any particular area you are studying.
    Having read the reviews before purchasing I was a bit skeptical but the book proves to be an extremely good buy.
