Reading the Bible Together for November:- Genesis
Comments:
Genesis is literally ‘a foundational book’. It reveals how the children of God were to be different to the surrounding nations – circumcision and Sabbath observance are especially noted. Covenant is important, how they will be a great nation, blessed by God.
We see a lot of Christ in Genesis, he is the one who would bruise the head of the serpent, he is the ultimate offspring of Abraham. The paradise lost by Adam will be restored by the last Adam.
Resources:
Some great videos online from Richard Pratt and our friends from Third Millennium ministries;

The Bible Speaks Today (IVP), 2 volumes on Genesis are also recommended – BST commentaries are a great resource for any lay person who wants to understand the Bible more.
These books are all available on the 10 of Those website.
