Genesis

With memorable stories and important beginnings, Genesis is one of the most well-known Old Testament books. It is more than just a history, however; the Bible's first book teaches us about God and ourselves, laying the foundation of Christianity.

John Calvin notes theological themes that run through this ancient book and into our hearts and lives today - including our ruinous guilt, our radical alienation from God, and his redeeming love. Calvin's ability to discern character and motivation from clues in the text, blended with his understanding of man's condition, creates a work that is constantly probing and practical, a thought-provoking and faithful exploration of this great book of the Bible.
