Genesis lays the foundation for Christian belief and introduces the people who walked with God—Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. All are welcome: believers, seekers, skeptics, and anyone curious about Scripture. Questions are emailed in advance for those who want them, but preparation is optional—no one is called on, and there are no grades. Bring your Bible; study notes or commentaries are welcome.
