THE FIRST QUESTIONS OF THE BIBLE
What Genesis 1–4 Has Been Asking Humanity All Along
What if some of the most important questions in the Bible are not the questions human beings ask God, but the questions God asks human beings?
The story of Genesis begins with God speaking. He creates, commands, blesses, establishes boundaries, and gives humanity a place within His creation. Then, in Genesis 3, a question enters the story that will change everything: “Hath God said?”
From that moment, the biblical story unfolds through a series of profound questions.
Where art thou?
Who told thee?
Hast thou eaten?
What is this that thou hast done?
Why are you angry?
Where is Abel thy brother?
Am I my brother’s keeper?
These questions are not merely ancient words preserved in an old story. They expose the deepest struggles of the human heart. They ask questions about truth, doubt, temptation, shame, responsibility, anger, accountability, relationships, justice, compassion, and redemption.
In The First Questions of the Bible, Dr. Ernest Musekiwa takes the reader on a theological journey through Genesis 1–4 and then follows these foundational themes through the Law, the Prophets, the ministry of Jesus Christ, and the life of the Church.
The book explores what happens when God's Word is questioned, when truth is distorted, when human beings hide from God, when shame changes the way we see ourselves, when people shift responsibility onto others, and when disappointment turns into anger and resentment.
It also asks what it means to be responsible for another human being in a world increasingly shaped by individualism, competition, social media, digital communication, and public division.
Yet this is not ultimately a book about questions without answers.
The questions of Genesis lead us toward the Gospel.
Where Adam failed, Christ obeyed.
Where sin brought death, Christ brought life.
Where Cain took his brother's life, Christ willingly gave His own life.
Where humanity hid from God, Christ came seeking the lost.
Where human beings asked whether they were responsible for one another, the Gospel created a people who are called to love, serve, restore, forgive, protect, and walk together.
The First Questions of the Bible invites you to read Genesis differently. More importantly, it invites you to allow the questions of Scripture to read you.
Because the questions are still being asked.
And perhaps the most important question is the one God is asking you.
Where are you?
