This is the first lesson in our study of the Book of Genesis, "the book of beginnings". Genesis lays the foundation of history; it gives us the critical information needed to know about origins. Genesis is "the seed plot of the Bible" because all "the forests" of Scripture find their beginning as "seedlings" in it. Actually, it presents the beginning of everything in existence except God Himself (i.e. the origin of the universe, of order and complexity, of the atmosphere and hydrosphere, of life, of man, of marriage, of evil, of God's plan for salvation, of government, the nations and people groups, of the nation of Israel).
In this Part I of our Introduction to Genesis, in additional to discussing how the book is foundational to history, we talk about the author of the book (we discuss "The Documentary Hypothesis" which teaches that Moses was not the author - and why we disagree). We also discuss the method involved in writing Genesis and the dating of the book (when it was written).
