A Study in Genesis

The Book of Genesis is the Book of the origin of the universe in general and most significantly of the origin this earth and of man's divinely appointed place in the earth. This study delves into Genesis in search of truth that will establish in the mind of the Bible believer the absolute authority of the Word of God as divine revelation of truth to man. This study is the fruit of the author's prayerful search of the Bible to find the information that will fix in the mind and heart of the serious student of the Bible the infallibility of the scripture as the sure anchor for the soul. It is the need of every human heart to be established in that faith that promises eternal life as the gift of God's grace. The lost man when presented with the prospect of receiving the greatest gift any man can have - the gift of eternal life, is compelled to find in the Bible that sure anchor for his soul. In the quest for such security of the soul, the spirit of man needs to know that the Word of God will pass every test that man can give it.

This study bring the principles of science and engineering into play in the quest to find answers to some of the perplexing question on origins in Genesis. It seeks to answer the questions such as how the laws of science come into play in creation and how what we observe in the geologic features of the earth squares with information in Genesis. The author answers for the Bible student questions such as: "Was the flood of Noah's day truly worldwide?" "What really brought on the glaciers?" and "What actually gave us the fossil fuel reserves that power society today?"

This study will fortify the Bible believer with information that will enable him to resist the challenges that have been raised by those who seek to undermined the faith of Bible believing Christians.

Having heard the gospel that this great gift of eternal life is extended to all men, the Bible student needs to satisfy himself in his mind that the Bible is true and accurate in every detail from beginning to end.
