This series begins our 18-month journey through the Bible with four worldview-shaping stories understood as “prehistory” or “protohistory” – Creation (Gen. 1-2), the Fall of Humanity (Gen. 3), the Great Flood (Gen. 6-9), and the Tower of Babel (Gen. 11).  We’ll see how these stories help us find ourselves in God’s great story!  We’ll also witness the repeating cycle of humanity’s failures followed by God’s faithful love. Resisting the urge of chronological pride (viewing early peoples as unintelligent, unscientific simpletons), we’ll enter the minds and complex literary styles of ancient writers to discover how these first stories point us to the Good News of Jesus!
