    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 28 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 16, 2011

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Title: Jacob at Bethel Jesus made a reference to Jacobs ladder that we read of in chapter 28. Where was this recorded in the ...read more
