Highly recommended

This audio course provides valuable historical and biblical context for Genesis, explains its major stories and their implications, and provides real insight into big questions of theology and our place in creation. I found Christopher's grasp of the content superb. His lectures are information-packed and thoughtfully delivered. This series is not for someone completely new to Genesis. Rather, it's a sophisticated and rigorous exploration of the book. The presentations and lively and enjoyable. I highly recommend this for the educated person seeking a deeper understanding of Genesis.
