Genesis 1 to 11: True Beginning Of Human History

Much has been written about the beginning of the Bible, ranging from mystical manuals and psychological stories to exaggerated works that give too literal an interpretation. In between there is a smorgasbord of all kinds of explanations, sermons, requirements and even demagoguery and forms of brainwashing. The Bible is rich in literary genres. It is not only historical, but also prophetic. It can be poetic and also literal. It is full of advice. In this book I venture, as honestly as I can, to do justice to what the Lord God has meant for us to know. However the Bible is not a scientific study book. Creation teaches us science. I hope and pray that the reader feels spoken to and also in his or her case, may learn from the Word of God for one's life in all honesty.

The author has had a Christian upbringing and therefore is familiar with the Bible from early youth. Through his background at university also various thoughts of other thinkers are known to him. His BAH is from Acadia University and his MA from Dalhousie University in Canada. Both provided education in classical languages and sciences.
