In this commentary on Genesis 12 to 36, James Montgomery Boice traces the new beginning of God's plan of redemption, which arose out of his dealings with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

By going carefully into the patriarchs' lives, Boice shows how much like us they were and how readily we recognize ourselves in them, in triumph and in failure alike. A New Beginning is the second of three volumes on Genesis, and it shows how God changed the course of history beginning with one less-than-perfect man. Expository preaching rather than technical commentary.
