Présentation de l'éditeur :
The Book of Genesis I ntroduction. The first Book of the Bible is called in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) Genesis. Genesis means Origin. The Hebrews call it by the first Hebrew word Bereshith. In the Beginning. It is the Book of all beginnings. We can trace here the beginnings of creartion and everything else, except God, who has no beginning. The Book of Genesis is the great foundation upon which the entire revelation of God rests. The marvellous structure of the Bible, composed of the different books, written by different instruments of the Spirit of God at different times, is built upon this great, majestic Book. It is the root out of which the tree of God srevelation has grown. Internal evidences prove the most complete unity, that it is the work of one chosen instrument, Moses, and that it is not of a composite authorship. But more than that, the Book of Genesis establishes the Divine Unity of the Bible. The last Book of the Bible, the Revelation, confirms this. Genesis tells of the origin of all things; Revelation reveals the destiny of all things. It is an interesting study, profitable and suggestive, to trace the great doctrines of the Bible in this first Book. They are all found somewhere in Genesis, either in typical foreshadowings or in direct words. Here, too, we may discover the dispensational and prophetic truths of the Bible in germ. Genesis iii:15 is the prediction out of which the rest of prophecy has been developed. The entire New Testament in its doctrinal statements rests upon this Book.
