These discussion questions are provided to help you think through the major issues of this section of the book. They are meant to be thought-provoking, not definitive.

INTRODUCTION TO Gen 11:24 to Gen 13:18

B. Genesis’ fifty chapters are concerned with the redemption of God’s covenant people, not creation. Calling one to call all is the focus of the book.
