From Paradise to Misery: A Profound Study of the Book of Genesis Volume 1: Chapters 1-3 - 9781973619543

The book of Genesis can invite a lot of questions. Did God create the world in God years, or did he create the world in human days? Is there a discrepancy between the creation story presented in chapter 1 and the story in chapter 2? Does Genesis 3:15 show the triumph of Jesus over Satan on the cross, or does it show something else? From Paradise to Misery offers answers to these questions using a clear, biblical perspective. Author and pastor Silvester Paredes shows us how many readers and interpreters of Genesis take too much for granted, forgetting that the book of Genesis contains events and circumstances that are happening for the first time in the history of creation. With that realization, we can approach the events of Genesis and creation with innocent eyes, allowing the Word of God to speak for itself in Gods voicenot in our own. The Bibleand the book of Genesis especiallyhas been misinterpreted for centuries, so it is important for the people of God to rethink our interpretations and revisit Gods opening words to his creation. With Gods guidance and an open, innocent mind, we can better understand creation and the nature of sinand in so doing, better understand God, ourselves, and his purposes for our lives.
