This lesson introduces Genesis as the book of Creation, designed to correct pagan conceptions of God, Man and Reality, and the reveal the essence of divine order in the world. We should ask as we read each piece, “What does this text tell me about God, Man and Reality?” “What does this text teach me about how to live well in God’s world?” “What do I learn about the present from this story about the past?” We review the essential flow of the book from chapters 1-12.
