The book of Genesis is probably one of the most important books in the Bible because it forms the basis for

all revelation. It reveals the entrance of sin into the world, which caused man's need for redemption through Christ. This book is singualar in its kind, for it offers the only correct and satisfactoryinformation that we posses concerning prehistoric times and the first part of man's existance on the earth. It goes back beyound the reach of available historical soursces and offers not mythical suppositions, not poetical fancies, not vague suggestions, but a postive record of tings as they actually transpried.

Now there are two points of view, one that Genesis was written by Moses, and the that Genesis is the composite of three different soruces.
