In the Beginning: Exploring Genesis

The opening chapters of Scripture aren’t just the start; they’re the framework for everything that follows. Without a clear understanding of the beginning, the rest of the Bible can feel disconnected and difficult to teach. In the Beginning: Exploring Genesis by Robert E. Picirilli walks through key passages and themes with precision and accessibility, helping you see how Genesis introduces the patterns of covenant, redemption, and God’s unfolding plan that echo throughout the Bible.

Over decades of ministry and scholarship, he has written extensively on New Testament studies, biblical interpretation, and Arminian theology.

Known for combining careful scholarship with a clear commitment to the authority of Scripture, Dr. Picirilli’s work seeks to help readers understand the Bible faithfully and apply its teaching to Christian life and ministry.
