Synopsis "Beginnings"

What if the most flawed family in the Bible is exactly the point? *Beginnings: Reflections on the Book of Genesis* is a chapter-by-chapter journey through the first book of the Bible, drawn from more than a decade of daily Quiet Time writing at dailyqt.org and Sunday School classes Eugene Han has taught at First Baptist Church in Dallas. Across seventeen chapters, it walks through Genesis 1-50 and wrestles honestly with its hardest questions: Why does God let Abraham lie-twice-and bless him anyway? Did Jacob actually change after wrestling with God, or did grace simply rest on an unchanged man? Why does Scripture record Simeon and Levi's massacre at Shechem without a word of moral commentary? What does Joseph's strange test of his brothers teach us about forgiveness and repentance? This expanded edition has been rewritten throughout to draw on the full range of reflections shared by the dailyqt.org reading community over many years, woven into a single, unhurried conversation with the text. It gives fuller attention to the questions careful readers keep asking-the days of creation, the "sons of God," the angel of the Lord, the ethics of the patriarchs-and to people Genesis refuses to forget, such as Hagar, Leah, Tamar, and Dinah. Where faithful Christians disagree, it states its own view plainly while presenting other views fairly. This is not a technical commentary written for seminarians. It is a companion for ordinary believers who want to read Genesis slowly, carefully, and honestly.
