The opening chapters of Genesis tell us the story of how humans
relate to our world -- and to God. Genesis 1-11 is a parade stories
of humanity intertwined with the most intriguing subjects we still
wrestle with today: the beginning of the cosmos, the nature of
humanity, family, sex, deceit, death, murder, mass murder, ecology,
agriculture, urbanization, and more. In The Universal Story, Dru
Johnson shows how Genesis 1-11 is written in a way that informs the
rest of biblical history--including the exodus, the kings of
Israel, the exile, the Gospels, and early church. Genesis 1-11
presents a story of humanity that seeks to explain the background
of every human endeavor. It is the universal story--the story of
stories--because it is a story about how all of these things came
to be the way the Hebrews understood them to be. These bizarre and
ancient stories frame the story of God and His plan for earth and
humanity. Through these stories, God speaks and pleads with us. Let
us learn how to listen and hear God's voice well in Genesis 1-11
and throughout the rest of Scripture.
