Overview

History repeats itself. That is particularly true in the book of Genesis, a book of beginnings which moves from a dark, cold, watery hopelessness through inspiring highs and incredible lows toward faith in the God who is ever-present and active in the affairs of the men and women of the selected stories that comprise Genesis. This book explores those ups and downs and demonstrates a pattern that allows us to discern God’s love and care despite our disobedience and failure.
We also explore why, despite commands to fill the earth and become nations, Adam (after the fratricide), Abraham, and Isaac only had two children, and examine possible lessons these examples offer.

Praise for Beginning With Genesis

Beginning With Genesis is a fresh look at an ancient book. Wright’s approach is creative, his research deep and wide, and his relationship to the reader hospitable, though challenging in terms of the work required to get the most out of the book. . . . I urge you to join the journey and experience the deep rewards into the salvific movements of God through time and history as they unfold in this unique and significant book.

——Suzanne Underwood Rhodes, poet laureate of Arkansas

Beginning With Genesis is a very readable book due to Dr. Wright’s comprehensive yet interesting and unique explanations of the material in each chapter. He challenges the reader to see this information in a new and unique way. His explanations are credible and thought-provoking. It would be so much fun to have a weekly Bible study revolving around this material. Maybe someday.

——Jack Sternberg, MD, Jewish believer in Yeshua (Jesus)

Whether you are comfortable, uncomfortable, or just plain numb in your relationship with God, you need to read Beginning With Genesis! Dr. Wright walks the reader through the callings, blessings, and failures of the patriarchs and their descendants, who by fault or inaction fell into ‘no hope’ situations. He shows when in faith they confessed their sin to God, how God granted forgiveness and paved a way to triumph in God.

——Daniel Warthen, QC lab analyst and former pastor
