These lessons are the productions of a busy pastor. They were written from week-to-week for use by our Sunday School teachers here at First Baptist Church. The notes were placed in book form as an afterthought in hope that they will be useful to other Bible teachers.

The reader must not expect great originality in the lessons. I have gleaned from many authors. Those who use the books recommended on the following page will find where many of our thoughts were borrowed.

Allow me to encourage each teacher to put as much study into your lessons as time will allow. The books mentioned in the recommended list will be a real help. The more you know about your subject, the better teacher you will be.

Finally let me mention that the lessons are not equal in length. Pastors who have several classes sudying Genesis in unison will need to determine in advance how many weeks will be required to cover each lesson.

John Calvin, Commentary on Genesis.
The famous reformer is very practical and often presents a viewpoint quite different from modern authors.

B. H. Carroll, An Interpretation of the English Bible: "Genesis."
The section on Genesis is very good.

Matthew Henry, Bible Commentary.
This older commentary is a must for those who teach Bible classes.

Henry M. Morris, The Genesis Record.
Dr. Morris is not only a good Bible student, but a scientist and an expert in the field of Creation Science. His book is a highly recommended study.

A. W. Pink, Gleanings in Genesis.
Mr. Pink is very interesting, but he often goes overboard in the application of Biblical types.
