Download or read book A Curious Student s Guide to the Book of Genesis written by Reuven Travis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genesis contains a rich, nuanced text, and yet, when taught to children, it is often done through a series of "factoids," such as the number of animals brought into the ark or Esau's red lentil soup. Worst still, children are frequently discouraged from asking questions about its complex storylines. This book was written to redress both pedagogical shortcomings. It does so by reminding children that the Bible teaches us to be truly good people via amazing stories of brave men and women doing incredible things. However, the most valuable lessons we learn from the Bible seem to come from people's daily lives: how they speak to their spouses, how they treat their children, how they interact with their neighbors. Perhaps most importantly, the Bible teaches us to ask questions. At times, the answers to our questions come easily. At other times, the answers we seek are hidden away, and so we are left to think and wonder. Nonetheless, ask we must, because by asking questions, we can deepen our connection to the ones we address the questions to, be it parents, teachers, or even God himself.
