Book of Genesis – OT for Schools – A R Whitham

Today’s free book is a basic commentary on Genesis by A.R. Whitham which was written for Secondary Schools in the 20th Century. It is part of a large number of such publications which I have been attempting to gather together and digitise – you can see the progress being made here.

My thanks to Book Aid for making a copy of this public domain work available for digitisation.
