"Genesis" - means origins or beginning, which ya know, is pretty appropriate as it is the first book in the bible! It gives the account of the origin of the earth and the human race (chapters 1-11) and the beginning of the nation of Israel (chapters 12-50). It was written by Moses whilst he was in the Wilderness of Sinai.
It was four major key concepts, that are crucial in understanding the rest of Genesis, and the entire bible and Christianity.
- God is the only true and living God who created us and the world.
- All people have rebelled against God and sin has entered the world.
- God judges us and the actions we do.
- Sin is still around today
It is also split into sections and chapters!
- Creation (1 - 2)
- Fall of Man (3)
- Adam and his Family (4- 5)
- The Flood (6-10)
- Tower of Babel (11)
- Abraham (12 - 23)
- Issac (24 - 26)
- Jacob (27- 36)
- Joseph (37 - 50)
