Genesis as a chapter in the master story of the Bible.
The master story of the Bible begins in Genesis. Genesis is our introduction to the character of God and his plan for dealing with the human race. It is also the beginning of human history, starting with the state of innocence and then plummeting to the fallen state. The great struggle between good and evil begins in Genesis. A major strand in the master story of the Bible is the unfolding of God’s covenant with the human race, and this covenant history starts with the book of Genesis. From the beginning, God’s purpose for Abraham and his offspring is to bless all the nations. Genesis 3:15 is the first announcement of the master story of the Bible that finds its fulfillment in Christ. (From the ESV Literary Bible)
Our Reading of Genesis begins October 4. The first post will be on this site at 10:00 p.m. on October 3.
