The story of creation can be difficult to understand if we do not read it properly. "Genesis 1-11: God Makes a Start "helps Bible-study participants put the creation story in its proper historical, cultural, and theological contexts, and goes beyond the story of creation to discuss the first sin and God's starting over with the flood. In the end, we come to see the story of creation--and re-creation--as part of God's ongoing story with us today. A Guided Discovery of the Bible
The Bible invites us to explore God's word and reflect on how we might respond to it. To do this, we need guidance and the right tools for discovery.
