Here’s A Snapshot of Every Book of the Bible
聖經每卷書之概要
Old Testament Books of the Bible 舊約聖經
1. Genesis 創世紀
Genesis answers two big questions: “How did God’s relationship with the world begin?” and “Where did the nation of Israel come from?”

有趣的事實: 大家最耳熟能詳的聖經故事應該都是在創世記。此書內記載如亞當夏娃，該隱與亞伯，挪亞方舟，巴別塔，亞伯拉罕跟以撒，雅各的天梯，以及約瑟的彩衣。
