Before Abraham: Creation, Sin, and the Nature of God

• MacArthur Old Testament Study Guide Series, Volume 1
• A Study in Genesis 1-11

Where did we come from? Why is there pain and suffering? Who committed the first murder? Why are there so many languages in the world? The first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis have the answers to these questions and moreⷕproviding us with the history of the human race in its earliest years, prior to the time of Abraham.

Before Abraham takes an in-depth look at the creation story, continuing through Noah and the Flood, and concluding with the Tower of Babel and the dispersion of the nations. These studies include close-ups of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah, and others, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes, such as "Sin and the Nature of God" and "Heritage and the Family of God."

This twelve-volume MacArthur Old Testament Study Guide series provides intriguing twelve-week examinations of the entire Old Testament. Each guide looks at a portion of Scripture from three perspectivesⷕhistorical studies, character studies, and thematic studiesⷕand incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Old Testament with guidance from John MacArthur.
