Description
This semester long student text lays the foundation of Biblical knowledge in regard to creation and the first things, following the timeline from creation to the death of Joseph. No previous knowledge of the Bible? No worries! The first chapter of text address what the Bible is, what books make up the Bible, some history, context, and instruction about the styles utilized in the sacred Scriptures. Throughout the text, there will be sections of application to daily living and discussion questions, though not for every chapter. There is a common thread throughout the reading of putting scripture up against science to see how scripture refutes science. The theme of the course is the beginnings or origins of all God created and God's chosen people. Included throughout the text are outlines, themes, history, charts, illustrations, maps, and an index. Discussion may occur over different topics addressed; for example, capital punishment, which this text takes a pro viewpoint on. 176 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
