Studies In Genesis: Chapters 12 & 13 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 14, 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. With chapters 12 - 50 we come to a whole different part of the book of Genesis. Everything has begun to change. In Genesis 1-11 ...read more

Contributed by Monte Brown on Feb 6, 2012

The men wore red shirts while engaged in a certain project, so the woman made one for her husband. He came home after the meeting, however, with a look of disappointment ...read more
