Studying Genesis with Bryan Chapell

If you take 5 minutes to read this Gospel Coalition interview of Bryan Chapell, you will be better equipped to read the book of Genesis.

We often look to Genesis with questions about our origins. But do we sometimes miss the larger picture? Bryan Chapell, president of Covenant Theological Seminary, suggests in an interview with Bible Study Magazine associate editor Rebecca Kruyswijk that Genesis is the beginning of God’s gospel story. God turns our story of rebellion into redemption.

How do you study the book of Genesis?

I look at Genesis as the original statement of the grace principles that are in the rest of Scripture. So when I study the book of Genesis, I’m really looking for those grace connections.
