Description
Summary:For several months during the present year, thousands of Sunday schools will be studying the wonderful book of Genesis. To some the book will bring many difficult questions, but to all it can bring stirring and inspiring teaching as to God's dealings with humanity. Through it all run deep moral purpose, profound religious faith, a sense of the divine presence. However varied may be the interpretations given its record of early heroes and nations, these fundamental characteristics should never escape notice. This article by Dr. Stevens is an interesting attempt to show the historical significance of a portion of Genesis that hitherto has received chiefly critical treatment.
