In the beginning God

This resource invites readers to engage thoughtfully with the early chapters of Genesis by considering the author's intention, the Bible's overall narrative, and the clarity of God's Word. It explores critical questions regarding how we read Scripture, the character of God, and the implications of biblical events like creation, the fall, and the flood. With an appendix addressing engaging aspects of history and science, this work champions a literal approach that honors the text while providing valuable insights into God's nature and the truth of biblical genealogies.
