The gospel message is founded on the book of Genesis. Without a keen understanding of these beginnings, much of the majesty and wonder of the "good news" is lost in a casual reading. Indeed, the treasures of what God did on our behalf can get lost amid the sweep of history.Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson has provided a keen analysis of the "map" that God has structured in the lives and events recorded in the early chapters of Genesis. Like any set of clues, the details are very important. Each word and event becomes a literary brick in the path that leads inexorably to the "exceedingly great and precious promises" (2 Peter 1:4) of God's "inheritance…that does not fade away" (1 Peter 1:4).– from the Forward by Dr. Henry M. Morris III
