Genesis Overview
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In this overview of the book of Genesis, Steve Gregg highlights its significance as a historical account of the origins of the universe, human society, and religious beliefs. While some may view the first eleven chapters as unreliable myths, Christians believe them to be accurate and essential to understanding the rest of the Bible. The book of Genesis can be divided into two parts, with the story of Abraham being the focal point, and many characters and events serving as types or foreshadowing of Christ and other significant figures in biblical history.
