Genesis for Everyone (1-16)

The first in a major new series of guides to the books of the Old
Testament written in an accessible and anecdotal style. The series is suitable
for personal or group use and the format is also appropriate for daily
study.






In the beginning God created . . ." This gripping opening " line draws attention to the irresistible creative nature of God - the One
who is able to bring something out of nothing. There is no more fitting way to
introduce us to the first and most obvious indication of God s goodness and
greatness. The book of Genesis goes on to tell stories (both exciting and
commonplace), offer profound mysteries, and engage us in the biggest issues of
all: who we are, where we come from, and where we're going.






Using personal anecdote, a witty and lively style, and drawing on his
considerable theological knowledge, John Goldingay takes us deep into the
unfolding story. He explores the character and nature of the God we meet so
powerfully in that opening line, the God we can encounter daily on the journey
through this revelatory book. And, as Professor Goldingay guides us in our
understanding of these time-honoured words and the ancient world they describe,
he helps us to apply what we read to our lives. This series offers a natural
progression from the successful 'For Everyone' series of New
Testament translations and commentaries.
