Genesis 18 thru 19  Sodom and Gomorrah:  Christianity has long associated Sodom and Gomorrah with homosexuality. This is even where our word "sodomy" comes from. It's a tough and controversial subject, but it's in the Bible for a reason. We are going to face it honestly and with careful scholarship. Do not be afraid. God is with us. God is still compassionate. God is still holy. A free Study Guide is available. A video version of the class is available on YouTube.

Genesis 15 thru 17  A Promise, a Slave, and a Wedding:  God shows up again (twice) and Abram and Sarai get into another big mess. But God takes their shenanigans in stride, and it all comes right in the end. We see God as King but also as a loving bridegroom, with a very surprising twist at the end of the ceremony.

Genesis 12 thru 14  A Saga of Epic Proportions  Visions, Harems, War and Kidnapping...and that's just this week! The Hebrew Bible is not for sissies.

Genesis 3 thru 11  A Tough Question and how to approach it: God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve...right? We use this question as a test case to demonstrate how to approach tough passages in a methodical, sound manner. Then we move on to Genesis 3 thru 11 and examine the etiologies (stories of how things came to be) that we find there. A free Study Guide is available.

Genesis 1 & 2  Introducing...God. God has many names and relates to creation in different"personalities." We gather the first of many important tools we'll need to delve into Scripture. A free Study Guide is available. A video version of the class is available on YouTube.
