Descriptive Summary: 

  • This course is a verse-by-verse study of Genesis Chapter 1 through Chapter 17.  It is the first of two online courses on Genesis, the other course in the Genesis sequence is: The Book of Genesis: Part Two – Chapters 18-50 (TNK 102).  The readings, lectures, curriculum, and assignments are all designed to maximize student understanding and application of this foundational book of the Bible.  
  • The Book of Genesis is taught from a Messianic Jewish perspective, so students will gain fresh insights as Hebraic cultural, historical, rabbinic, and linguistic insights are incorporated into the lectures and curriculum.  Correct and consistent principles of hermeneutics are applied, so sound biblical exposition of Genesis is the result. Students will grow intellectually and spiritually as they delve into “Sepher Maaseh Bereishit” (i.e. “The Book of the Act of In the Beginning”), with Dr. Fruchtenbaum as their guide.
