Top Highlights
“The whole reason for the Bible is to make known to people the invisible God who gives existence to the visible world. Reading the Bible lets us fulfill our principal earthly task, which is getting to know God.” (Page 9)
“God has just started to create time. He is still shaping and molding it. Time does not yet exist as we know it. The markers of time have not yet been set in the sky, and the creatures that experience it do not yet exist. The only point of view that exists so far is the divine one, which is eternal and stands outside of time. Day One was a day for God, not yet a day for humans.” (Page 10)
“Genesis 1 narrates creation entirely from God’s perspective, but Genesis 2 re-narrates from an increasingly human viewpoint.” (Page 19)
“he sought to identify the faith behind the circumcision as more important than circumcision itself.” (Page 87)
“The Bible also introduces the priesthood of Melchizedek before the priesthood of Levi” (Page 79)
