In this lecture, Don Carson introduces a new series, “The God Who Is There.” He explores the creation account in Genesis, highlighting key attributes of God and humanity. Carson also emphasizes the importance of Genesis 1–2 for understanding the fall in Genesis 3, the concept of a new creation through Jesus, and the foundational differences between the biblical worldview and other religious or philosophical systems.

He teaches the following:

• Why it’s important to understand the Bible’s organization and structure
• How God reveals himself supremely through his Word
• The significance of the creation narrative
• How creation’s intelligent, complex design points to a Designer
• The attributes of God as revealed in Genesis 1–2
