Genesis Part II: Bible Study Guide

The Bible’s first book, The Book of Origins (as Genesis is referred to in Greek) divides into two parts: the pre-history and creation stories (Chapters 1–11) and the Abraham family cycle of stories from Genesis 12 to the end, Genesis 50.

After completing the first 25 chapters available for study as Genesis in Part 1, you will be ready to study this workbook, which covers chapters 26–50. Be prepared for a series of perplexing, astonishing, stunning stories!

We begin with the story of Isaac, and from there the stories keep getting richer and broader and deeper with each unfolding character. For example, in Jacob we encounter many dramatic moments, from his deception of his brother, Esau, to his flight out of fear to his trickster behavior to his love affairs. And that’s just one character in one story! By the end of Genesis, we’re convinced by how profoundly contemporary these ancient stories are.

Each chapter has between four and six thoughtful questions that reveal key themes. The questions are designed to prompt readers to think of new ways they might view such familiar material.
