Reading Companion to the Book of Genesis
The first book of the Bible is named for its purpose. The word “Genesis” means origin, and it is indeed God’s record of the origin of all things. We must understand the beginnings if we would know the endings and the purposes of life in between. Would you be one who understands? Genesis relates the God of grace creating and providing for man. Perhaps the God of grace has a beginning in store for you as you consider with us His fascinating book of origins.
This Reading Companion was developed in a Bible college context, yet it presents practical truths that have proven helpful over the years to scores of sincere seekers of truth. The material has been left in the original class by class portions to make it easier to use further in a classroom setting. Related verses of the Bible head the pages on which they are explained and applied, that God’s words might always remain in our focus.
May the Lord of glory guide your heart as you explore the wonders of His Word. Priceless are the treasures to be found there. May He build your good understanding of practical Christian living as He lifts you to spiritual maturity in Jesus. “Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of My mouth.” (Proverbs 4:5)
