Genesis, Part One (Little Rock Scripture Study)

Part One of this study covers Genesis 1:1-25:18 (the “pre-history” of Israel including the creation accounts, the stories of the fall and the great flood, as well as the story of Abraham and Sarah). Commentary, study and reflection questions, prayer and access to recorded lectures are included. 5 sessions.
