At the beginning of Scripture, the Holy Spirit, through the prophet Moses, introduces us at once to God in the essential fullness of his being. It is to God and God alone that we are brought. We hear him, through the divine revelation, penetrating earth’s silence, shining into the primordial darkness, with the sole intent of creating a sphere in which he might display his sovereignty, incomparability, and power. Unlike too many recent scholarly works on this book that have concentrated on the formation and development of the Pentateuch, John Currid is concerned to focus on the content and theology of this first book of the Bible. Indeed almost every important church doctrine is found in “seed” form in the Book of Genesis. This volume covers the lives of the patriarchs Jacob and Joseph, ending with the Israelites living in Egypt.
