The Book of Genesis

The book of Genesis is considered by some people to be inspired, truthful, and sacred. Others think of it as a fairy story and wonder why people still believe such an ancient book. Genesis for Ordinary People doesn’t shy away from the questions that go through people’s minds as they read the first book in the Bible.

Questions of Trustworthiness

Are there reasons it is trustworthy? In addressing these questions, Paul Poulton follows the intriguing thread that runs through the entire book of Genesis. He takes a good look at the story’s wonderful (and flawed) people and beings, inviting readers to gaze into the garden of Eden to witness the reality of what actually happened there.

Exploring the Narrative

He follows the storyline of Genesis but often looks back, adding a fresh perspective to Adam and Eve’s enthralling lives. A fascinating picture emerges as the layers of Genesis accumulate.
