Book Four – God’s Covenant Creation
God’s Covenant Creation: Adam’s Race and Mandate is a study of the meaning of Genesis 1-11 in the context of the rest of the Bible and an introduction as to God’s purpose for creating Adam and who he was.
God’s Covenant Creation (Book Four) is a comprehensive commentary of Genesis 1-11 addressing some of the most critical stories and subject matters of the Bible. Understanding what Genesis 1-11 says and what it means determines your perspective and scope of the Bible, history and your worldview.
Unlike any other book, Genesis 1-11 is approached by the context of Genesis 12 through Revelation as determined in Books One through Three of the Covenant Heritage Series. Thus, Book Four is not a stand-alone treatment of Genesis 1-11, but is most accurately understood from the broader context of the rest of the Bible.
Some of the important questions answered in God’s Covenant Creation (Book Four) include:
- Is the “creation story” of Genesis 1 about how God created the physical universe, the planet earth and every living creature or is it about the main subject matter of Genesis 12-Revelation discussed in Books One through Three?
- What is the purpose of the creation of Adam in God’s image and likeness and how is that fulfilled through God’s revelation of His unfolding Kingdom?
- What is the significance of the genealogies of Genesis 5-11 (that include over 40% of all the verses in these chapters) in respect to the rest of the biblical story?
- Was the great Flood event of Noah’s day global or local?
- Did all the various races come from Adam or specifically from the descendants of Noah?
