The Greek word \u003ci\u003egenesis\u003c\/i\u003e means \"beginning\", and this inspired text reveals to us not only our origins, but our purpose, our meaning, and God's plan for mankind. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Yet Genesis can be daunting, especially given the scientific discoveries of the last few centuries. Stephen K. Ray, author of \u003ci\u003eCrossing the Tiber\u003c\/i\u003e, breaks down this sacred and profoundly influential book, wrestling with the complex intersection of history and theology. Thoroughly Catholic in his approach, Ray is unafraid to draw from sources of all kinds: from Jewish and Protestant commentaries, from archaeology, from geography, and even from modern literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGenesis: A Bible Study Guide and Commentary\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers the excitement and drama of this ancient narrative, so often ignored or misunderstood. In Ray's reading, the Book of Genesis is a shout of joy: \"We \u003ci\u003ecan\u003c\/i\u003e know where we came from! We \u003ci\u003ecan\u003c\/i\u003e know who we are!
