A review by elli_p
The Book of Genesis by Anonymous

5.0

One of my favorite books of scripture. So much story is packed into this one book. The stories of Adam & Eve, Noah's Ark, the Tower of Babel, Abraham & Sarah, Isaac & Rebecca, Jacob & Rachel, Joseph the dreamer. I love how it's focused not just on the origins of humanity but also on the origins of the nation of Israel. And I love Joseph's words near the end of the book which summarize the core theme of the Bible: "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today." - Genesis 50:20. Time and time again many men and women of the Bible fail or make mistakes or act out of malice. But the Lord brings out goodness and holiness out of these acts, and out of something disastrous bring forth salvation.
