Even the most unpromising passages (like genealogies) prove to be a rich source of blessing and spiritual truth. Attention to grammar and syntax in the Hebrew language supply new meaning to the first chapter of Genesis.
Questions about the reliability of the early portion of Scripture, about contradictions within Scripture, of what is prophecy or merely prediction, of why God intervenes dramatically at times but is silent at other times ‹ challenge both the heart and mind.
Answers suggested here are refreshing and thought-provoking. Scripture thus bears everywhere the hallmarks of true inspiration: its words are for children, its thoughts are for men. No other such book as this was ever written.
