Genesis Bible Study Guide

The Book of Genesis, found in the Bible and upheld by the Catholic Church, serves as the starting point for everything. The Greek word genesis translates to "beginning", and this sacred text not only provides information about our origins, but also reveals our purpose, meaning, and God's plan for humanity. However, Genesis can be intimidating, especially when considering the scientific advancements of the past few centuries.

Stephen K. Ray, known for writing Crossing the Tiber, dissects this influential text, addressing the complex intersection of history and theology. Ray takes a thoroughly Catholic approach and fearlessly incorporates a wide range of sources, including Jewish and Protestant commentaries, archaeological findings, geographical data, and even modern literature. In his work, Genesis: A Bible Study Guide and Commentary, he aims to bring to light the excitement and drama of this often overlooked or misunderstood ancient narrative.

In Ray's interpretation, the Book of Genesis is a proclamation of joy, "We can know where we came from! We can know who we are! We can know our destiny! And we are not alone in the universe!"
