The Book of Genesis is, in some ways, one of the most important books in the Bible. To properly understand the entire Bible, one must clearly understand Genesis. In fact, the New Testament quotes from Genesis at least 165 times. Key doctrine and themes discussed in this class will be: sin, redemption, justification, the fall, evil, Israel, the promise of the Messiah, creation, and covenants. Key stories and characters in Genesis are: Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. The Book of Genesis also serves as the first book of the Pentateuch. We will study the Book of Genesis verse by verse as well as using a full PowerPoint presentation.
