In the Beginning: Exploring Genesis

Everything in the Bible begins in Genesis. Creation, the Fall, covenant, and God’s redemptive plan all take shape in this foundational book—yet many readers struggle to understand its history, theology, and relevance.

In the Beginning: Exploring Genesis, by Robert E. Picirilli, Ph.D., provides a clear and thoughtful guide through the opening chapters of Scripture. Drawing from years of biblical scholarship and teaching, Dr. Picirilli explains the meaning of key passages while highlighting the major themes that shape the rest of the Bible. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of God’s purposes in creation, the seriousness of human sin, and the unfolding promise of redemption that begins in Genesis. Ideal for pastors, Bible teachers, and serious students of Scripture, this study helps readers see how Genesis lays the groundwork for the entire biblical story.
