Description

When a layman opens a theological book he often finds that it is like half-cooked rice, since mostbooks of this nature are written from a scholarly standpoint, emphasizing the intellectual approachrather than giving a spiritual application for the reader's edification. The latter is what most laymendesire and need.For a long time I have desired to make available a book on Genesis that could be understoodby laymen and still be used as a reference book for theological students. In the winter of 1962 I beganto prepare a biblical theology of Genesis. But due to the pressing schedule in the years following,teaching at Talbot Theological Seminary, serving on the translation committee of the New AmericanStandard Bible, plus a full-time job pastoring a church, little energy was left for the book. The desireto publish the book came to mind again when duties on the committee and at the seminary werecompleted. Original manuscripts were revised, suggestions from friends were added, and the presentvolume became a reality.This book contains two parts. Part one serves as an introduction. Without it the latter partmay not be appreciated in full. Part two contains the three periods of Genesis, the Adamic Period,the Noachian Period, and the Patriarchal Period. In each of these periods the revelation of God andthe revelation of man are respectively and progressively discussed. I have assumed that the readerhas some basic knowledge of Genesis. If not, it is recommended that each Scripture passage be readbefore considering the corresponding discussion in this book.I wish to express gratitude to my late wife, Gracie, and to Joanne Kimble for their invaluableliterary and grammatical help, for designing the format and book cover, and for doing the wordprocessing. Without them this book would not have been written.Since this book is designed for laymen as well as theological students, technical terms areavoided, simplified or explained, and references to other authors are reduced. May the Lord of selfrevelationgrant each reader progressive illumination in the reading of this book, "That ye mightwalk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in theknowledge of God" (Col. 1:10).Timothy Lin, Ph.D.With Dr. Lin's kind permission this book in its present form and copyright is a thorough revisionof his 1974 manuscript.Eugene Kimble, Ph.D.Carmel, IN, 1998
