Getting a head-start on my readings for my upcoming course on the book of Genesis. The primary text is Allen P. Ross' book: Creation and Blessing. So far this looks to be an excellent introduction on Genesis, ancient literary genre, and helpful intruductions on various methods of interpretation. While solidly orthodox and conservative, he engages with numerous approaches in a fair and balanced manner. I also like the fact that this is not really a commentary, but assists you in exegesis (forcing you to do your own textual work). If you are interested in Genesis (and who isn't) this should be on your shelf.
