Product Description

This inspiring exposition goes back to the beginning. The
early chapters of Genesis proclaim the origin of the world, and of human
life on earth. David Atkinson applies what he finds here to the issues
that face us at the beginning of a new millennium. The first eleven
chapters of Genesis, he argues, are an overture to the rest of the Bible.
They evoke wonder as God is portrayed in his creative power and beauty.
They reveal his loving mercy and salvation even in his terrible judgment of
those who turn from him and despoil the harmony of creation.
