This is the Genesis course you’ve always wanted. Engaging, thought-provoking, and humorous, this delightful course promises fresh insights into the Bible’s second most popular book.

Genesis contains some of the most familiar stories of the entire Old Testament, and it features some of the most unforgettable characters in all of history: Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham and Sarah, Jacob and his wives Rachel and Leah, and their twelve sons, including the famous Joseph. However, Genesis also contains perplexing mysteries of the Bible.

Through this brilliantly taught series, you’ll survey Genesis’ contents and its historical context in biblical and ancient history. Look at the fascinating cycles of stories surrounding the central characters of Abraham and Sarah, Jacob and his wives Rachel and Leah, and Joseph while seeking answers to biblical mysteries.

You will consider a wide range of opinions about the various aspects of the stories of Genesis in order to deepen your appreciation and enjoyment when reading this fascinating book. If you have ever wanted to grasp a deeper understanding of Genesis, this unique new course is for you.
