Synopsis

Read by the author.The Bible is one story told through dozens of people over thousands of years. As Christians, we know we're supposed to believe this - and so we do. But when we pick up our Bibles, if we're honest, we sometimes lose the thread, especially with some of the strange and obscure happenings in Genesis.We can't help but wonder, What's this all about?!Who - or what - are the Nephilim? What about this mysterious Melchizedek who seems to appear out of nowhere? Why are there so many genealogies? Why do Abraham and a Hittite haggle for so long about the price of a rinky-dink cave? Hang on, are we supposed to be comfortable with Abraham sacrificing his son? Or with Lot's, um, unseemly family dynamics? Or with Jacob's multiple wives? Why do the book's heroes so often act like villains?And, of course, what does all this have to with Jesus and the gospel?Careful readers of the Bible have many questions about Genesis. In From Eden to Egypt, Alex Duke will give everyday Christians a guided tour of these wonderful stories so that they'll see - perhaps for the first time - that it's all there for a reason.Appendixes can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download."Alex has gifted the church with an accessible and faithful guide through the book of Genesis." —KIRK COUSINS, NFL Quarterback"With engaging storytelling and culturally relevant illustrations, Duke helps us see where God’s people have been and where they’re headed." —HUNTER BELESS, host of Journeywomen and author of Read it, See it, Say it, Sing it: Knowing and Loving the Bible

My endorsement: “The Bible is not boring, but sometimes we forget that. And by ‘sometimes’ I mean almost daily. Sure, we say it’s important (we’ve got copies on the shelf to prove it!), but the truth is we are intimidated—especially in the Old Testament—by its ancientness and complexity and size. Do......more

Goodreads review by John on April 20, 2025

If we're being honest, sometimes reading the Bible feels like a drag. We know we need it, but that doesn't make it easier. That's why I appreciate books that help shine light into all the crevices we miss while hovering over an ancient text. A little sugar helps the medicine go down. But this book doe......more
