In this episode, Drew Lewis discusses the literary and theological layers of Genesis, emphasizing the importance of close reading, understanding Hebrew nuances, and engaging with the text's complexity. We discuss the purpose of Genesis in establishing the identity of God's people. We also consider the significance of trees and theophanies in Genesis, as well as the role of literary patterns and numerology. Drew also offers tips on where to start with biblical exegesis and encourages you to join him for the Genesis book study in Winter 2027.
