Genesis is the foundation of the Bible, revealing the origins of creation, humanity, sin, and God’s redemptive plan.

Genesis 50:2-3 – Egyptian embalming practices and their connection to Joseph’s burial
 
From the Garden of Eden to Joseph’s coffin in Egypt, this book covers the full scope of Genesis, providing insights into patriarchal customs, ancient law codes, nomadic lifestyles, burial practices, city structures, and much more. Each background study is thoroughly researched, drawing from archaeology, linguistics, and biblical scholarship while maintaining a conservative evangelical perspective that upholds the historical accuracy and divine inspiration of Scripture.
 
With a clear and engaging approach, this resource is ideal for pastors, teachers, students, and anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the first book of the Bible.
