Description

Within this 6-lesson module, we ll enter what we think to be familiar territory with the first few stories in Genesis. These are stories we believe we know well until we read them again and discover that there are places in the text we didn t notice before or that our Sunday School experiences were omitted due to the things that weren t palatable for us as children. There are some hard stories in this collection of texts. That s probably why we don t hear them preached very often. Nevertheless, these are important stories, so I want to dive into the things that I think we as ministers need to know about the book of Genesis: the world behind the text, the world of the text, and the world in front of the text.
