    Dear Inge: If still in print, you might want to consider two by
    InterVarsity Press: _Genesis: An Introduction and Commentary_ by Derek
    Kidner (1967, one of the Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries); _In the
    Beginning: The Opening Chapters of Genesis_ by Henri Blocher (translated
    from the French, 1984); and _The Genesis Connection_ by John L. Wiester
    (IBRI/Interdisciplinary Biblical Research Institute, P.O. Box 423, Hatfield,
    PA 19440-0423; www.biblical.edu). The latter is in their 2000 Catalog, so
    probably still available. Wiester is a geologist, among other things. All
    three books take a relatively conservative approach. - Cordially, from V of
    vwhearncat, etc. =^..^==
