Unpacking Genisis: Foundations- Meditations on Genisis 1-3

Foundations is the first book in the planned Unpacking Genesis series and offers 22 meditations on the critical opening three chapters of the Bible. In Genesis 1–3 God reveals truths about himself, ourselves, and the world in which we live, all of which lay the footing for understanding his kingdom and our place in it, the Saviour and how we may be saved, and so much in-between. It’s not too much to say that if we get these chapters wrong, we get the Bible wrong. On the other hand, to understand them well is to have a firm foundation for understanding all of Scripture.

In Foundations, Pastor Peter Holtvlüwer offers a careful explanation and application of each passage in Scripture’s opening chapters. Many every-day subjects are dealt with like creation versus evolution, male and female, human sexuality, marriage and the roles of husband and wife, raising children, the purpose of our jobs, the day of rest, communing with God in his covenant, how we rebelled against God and how God responded, and much more. In each meditation the author works to show us what God is doing and how he leads us to the only Saviour Jesus Christ.
