Publisher's summary

In Genesis the curtain rises on our story. Genesis introduces most of the major themes in the Bible. Listen closely as Logos Bible Study’s Dr. Bill Creasy takes you through the story of creation, the fall of man, grace, atonement, faith, justification, redemption and much more in this extraordinary story of beginnings. Starting with Genesis 1-11, the “primeval chapters,” follow the story as God introduces the plan of Salvation in Chapter 12, and then he makes good on it through three unfolding triptychs: the stories of Abraham/Isaac, Isaac/Jacob and Jacob/Joseph. This is brilliant story telling that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world’s greatest literature. And no one tells the story as well as Dr. Creasy!

Editorial reviews

"In the beginning…" So begins perhaps the most familiar verse in the bible, and so begins this fascinating lecture series. Dr. Bill Creasy, retired literature professor at UCLA, turns Genesis, this most fundamental of all texts, into a story that comes alive with his lucid, entertaining, and funny explication. With a clear, energetic voice replete with intellectual curiosity, Creasy approaches Genesis from the perspectives of history, geography, political science, and literature. Full of familiar stories with a fresh, invigorating perspective, Creasy gives listeners a new zest for this first book of the bible.

Outstanding

The story of Genesis, from the primeval chapters through the chapters of Abraham and Isaac, Isaac and Jacob, and Jacob and Joseph, well told with context to assist the modern reader in understanding the depth of the scripture.

Great Lectures

What a great idea to combine English lit with a bible study. He makes the bible so much easier to understand by differentiating the different voices as well as emphasizing the different punctuation places, correcting the mistranslated words and histories al background. Bible teacher par excellence.

Dr. Creasy brings the Bible to life!!!

It was an amazing and enlightening series of lectures about Genesis. Dr. Creasy brings the characters and events to life through geography and history. He takes an in depth approach to the Bible using factual historical events and geographical locations of each section in the Bible. It becomes easier to picture each story as an actual event rather than 'just a story' in the Bible.

He is amusing and keeps most of the lectures light and 'real.' There is nothing boring or droning about these lectures. He speaks clearly and makes these lessons understandable to anyone listening.

A must buy for anyone interested in understanding the Bible and applying it to life now.

The Beginning

Dr. Creasy makes Genesis come alive and learned things that I never knew about. The only complaint is that I wish I could have had access to the maps that he referred to.

If youre looking for a deeper understanding!

I looked forward to each chapter; each new bit of deeper understanding about how the Bible is truly woven together, perfectly! Dr. Creasy's humor and understanding of culture and events really brought Genesis to life even after reading a few times on my own. I've decided to listen to multiple books concurrently.
