The book of Genesis consists of numerous different stories written in different styles‚ by different people conveying various messages. Numerous devices are used in order to communicate the meaning of each story.

Bible 105 Genesis 1-11 Genesis gives me a lot of insight to “the beginning". As I have read the Book of Genesis‚ it gave me total but not complete insight of how things were in the past to get where we are now according to the scriptures.

Biblical History and Literature-03 9/20/13 Dr. Noble Genesis 22 The story of genesis 22 was about putting faith and trust into God. It was about God testing Abraham and his faith towards him.

Bible Observation After reading Genesis 1-10 my observation of the reading was that this was one of the beginning stories of man. In addition this was when God created the heavens and the earth including the light‚ water‚ land‚ and creatures. It took God six days to make the earth‚ and on the seventh day God rested.
