Summary
Christians have been reading the book of Genesis for a very long time now, because from the beginning of the Christian movement they have believed that “all Scripture is God-breathed and … useful” in one way or another (2 Tim 3:16, NIV) – and they have held this to be true, first and foremost, of what they have regarded as the Old Testament (OT). They have read Genesis, then, in pursuit of what they should believe and how they should live.
