Genesis Introduction
GenesisSteve Gregg
In this introduction to the book of Genesis, Steve Gregg discusses how it provides essential information about the beginning of everything, including the human race, and the origins of marriage, atonement, and human inventions. While some view the first eleven chapters of Genesis as mythological, Jesus himself believed three out of four primary stories to be historically true, making it an important part of Christian belief. The book of Genesis is divided into pre-Abrahamic history and history of Abraham's family, and contains various patterns or prototypes that foreshadow something related to Christ.
