Inhalt
Genesis is not an ordinary book. It is the answer to the deepest question a human being can ask: Where do I come from, and why am I here? Moses writes this book for a people who have just been freed from slavery and have no story of their own to stand on. In this opening episode, you will meet the author, his world, and the audience he was writing for. You will see why Genesis is not mythology but the cornerstone of the entire Bible, and why the thread running through all fifty chapters points, in the end, to a single person.
Sources and show notes for this episode:
Bible passages: Genesis 1:1 (Bereshit), Genesis 3:15 (the proto-evangelium), Acts 7:22 (Moses educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians), 1 Corinthians 15:45 (Christ as the second Adam), Revelation 22:1–2 (the garden and the tree in the new Jerusalem).
Key original-language terms: Bereshit (Hebrew: in the beginning), Torah (Hebrew: instruction, law), Pentateuch (Greek: five vessels), Genesis (Greek: origin, beginning), proto-evangelium (Latin/Greek: first gospel).
