How to Analyze, Interpret, and Defend Scripture.
There are many opinions and subsequent interpretations on the Book of Genesis. What did the author of Genesis intend and how can we possibly know, or is the important thing only what the Bible “means to you”? In this book, Dr. Jason Lisle answers questions such as:
- What are the most common mistakes people make in trying to understand Genesis?
- What are the necessary rules of biblical interpretation, and what is the proper role of science in understanding the Bible?
- How does one identify the various types of biblical literature, and how do the rules of interpretation handle each type poetic, prophetic, historical, etc.?

Understanding Genesis is an amazing piece of apologetic literature that helps any reader who believes In The Genesis account defend the truth of Gods creation story. There's alot of answers to common questions in this book but ultimately has to be received with an open mind and believed with a heart full of faith.
The text has a lot of facts and logic that explains the material and concept the correct way (as well as the incorrect way) to interpret scripture and how we can know Biblically. This is not an easy read, but for those who are seriously interested in understanding and defending the scriptures and the mistakes people make in trying to understand the book of Genesis. There is a summary and review of the basic principles covered at the end of each chapter which is very helpful.
