The World Within the Text (also known as World Of the Text) helps you to understand the Biblical text.

Please find a print book available in the Book Stacks.

Some books only cover part of Genesis; confirm that your book includes the chapter of Genesis (chapter 15, 18, 22, 34, 38, or 39) that your group is studying . 

In your research you are likely to use two types of bible commentaries:

Single-volume commentary

• 1 book has chapters covering every book of the Bible

Book-length commentary

• A book that covers 1 book of the Bible (e.g., a book on Genesis)
• gives highly specific and detailed information

UP's library has many book-length commentaries on each book of the bible, available either in print or as eBooks.
