This lesson introduces the foundational questions that will be explored throughout the Genesis and Job series. It begins with the central truth that the Bible is God’s story, revealing His creation, His purposes, and His answers to life’s most important questions. The lesson explains why Genesis and Job are placed together in a chronological study of the Bible and why understanding them correctly provides an essential foundation for understanding both the Bible and life.

Special attention is given to the authorship and dating of Genesis and Job. The lesson presents historical, geographical, traditional, and biblical evidence supporting Moses as the author or compiler of both books and affirms that Job was a real historical person. Throughout the lesson, three foundational truths emerge: God’s sovereignty over all things, the non-transactional nature of our relationship with God, and the reality of an unseen spiritual world.
