Summary | In this introductory lesson, Ed labors to give the theme of Genesis as a whole and how it fits into the scheme of the Bible. 3 truths that help unlock the book of Genesis are studying it to know the Lord, seeing the truth in "seed form", and studying it in light of redemptive history. The first 11 chapters give the foundation events God wants to see (creation, the fall, the flood, and Babel). Chapters 12 through 50 give the foundational characters of Abraham (faith), Isaac (surrender), Jacob (God-sufficiency) and Joseph ("all the eggs in one basket"). |
