The Book of Genesis by Anonymous

5.0

Genesis is the first book of both the Old Testament of the Bible and the Jewish Torah and contains a number of stories about how God created Earth and the Garden of Eden. In the Book of Genesis you learn about Adam and Eve, Noah and the Flood, the reason for languages, and the stories of Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob and Esau. It is believed that Moses wrote Genesis for the people of Israel, whom he led out of slavery in Egypt. The first eleven chapters of Genesis paint the early history of the human race. Genesis covers the most extensive period of time in all of Scripture, longer than the other books in the Bible. Genesis offers a thorough background to the rest of the Bible. Here we learn ancient history and geography and are introduced to significant people and events found later in the Bible. God also reveals many facets of His nature through His dealings with people. We learn of the origin of sin, of its destructive effect on humanity, and of God’s plan to atone for that sin through a future Son of the people of Israel.
