A study of how the first half of Genesis sets the stage for the subsequent drama of redemption

There has been much discussion and controversy about the first 11 chapters of the Bible. These studies neither advocate evolution or creation, but rather how God's creative work underlies everything else in the Bible, especially the work of Jesus Christ. By focusing on who created the world rather than how, this portion of Scripture can be read as a statement of faith in God.

These seven insightful sessions help us to consider how:

Biblical writers used their knowledge of the natural world to describe God's creative activity

The story of the first sin helps us to understand several facets of sinfulness today

God's judgement helps us understand His verdict on human evil but also His determination to save humanity

Icebreakers, Bible readings, eye openers, discussion starters, personal application make this a rich resource for group or individual study.
