Book Cover & Preview Text
Ambrose, the teacher of early Christianity, gave a sermon like a thunderbolt as follows. “To kill all the people of Canaan is God’s word that we must repent and be cleansed of all the sins in our hearts.” Augustine's troubled mind and doubt about God as the One who discriminates between tribes was solved and had a peace in his heart. It gives important lesson to love all human without any prejudice. This lesson is my approach of reading Genesis.

About the Book
The book of Genesis reveals that God created humans and animals on the same day, the sixth day of the creation. Human beings were formed from the dust of the ground. If there was no image of God in human beings, and if there was no spirit of God in humans, humans and animals would have no differences. Thankfully, humans do have the spirit of God within them and are made in God’s image and his likeness. In In the Beginning (Bereshith), author Andrew Choi examines the book of Genesis, telling the stories of and examining the lives of the characters within. With discussion questions and reflections included, he shares the lessons that today’s Christians can glean from this book that forms the basis of the Bible. Choi tells how Genesis is a theological book, a story of God. Genesis is the restoration, redemption, and reconciliation story of the panorama unfolding from ancient times until now.
