The Book ofGenesis

Old Testament · Book 1 of 66 · 50 chapters · 1,533 verses

Genesis is the book of beginnings — creation, the fall, the flood, and the call of Abraham. It answers the oldest questions: where we came from, why the world is broken, and how God begins His rescue plan through one family. Every major theme in the Bible is planted here as a seed.
