A verse-by-verse exposition of Moses’ inspired account of history from creation to Israel’s wilderness wanderings. Rich typology and prophecies hidden in these books are clearly explained. In Genesis we have in germ seed all that is later developed in the Bible: the ruin of man through sin, redemption by blood and faith in God’s plan of salvation, communion, divine direction, and the ultimate plan for man. The latest archaeological data relevant to each locale or period of history are also covered. The class does not include a study of the Tabernacle (Exodus 25-40), as this material is presented in Tabernacle (B540).
