God said, Let there be light ~ The return of the Dove ~ Abraham & Lot
These contents were taken from "The Book, a special edition of The Living Bible", published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., they are used in all the books of the Old and New Testament.
AUTHOR: Moses.
DATE: 1420 or 1220 BC.
CONTENT: The book of Genesis was written to explain how everything began; in fact, the very title Genesis means "origin" or " beginning". It explains that God created the universe, how man was created and placed in a perfect environment, how sin began, and how God provided salvation for lost man. The crafts, how human language began, and where the various nations came from. The focus then shifts to the beginning of the Hebrew people with Abraham, followed by the histories of Isaac, Jacob and his sons, and the book ends with Joseph in Egypt.
THEME: The main idea that runs through the book is that although God made everything good and man's sin spoiled it, God has not given up, but is now in search of man to save him. The overall control of God is stressed and special attention is given to how God directs history for the good of his people and their salvation (50:20)
