The Genesis Genealogies: God's Administration in the History of Redemption

by Abraham Park

A fundamental part of understanding one's ancestors is knowing when they were born, how long they lived, and when they died. Here in The Genesis Genealogies lies that crucial core information about the forebears of Christianity.

Rev. Abraham Park has meticulously analyzed the information in The Book of Genesis . Taking the explicit date references in Genesis and performing math calculations forward and backward in time, he builds a complete chronological Biblical timeline from Adam to the Exodus, including the duration of construction of Noah's ark. With this Bible study of the cornerstone text of The Old Testament , we can more deeply understand the layers of meanings that Genesis offers. The Genesis Genealogies is a must-have for every Church Library.

This title is part of The History of Redemption series which includes:

It amazing! If you are really Christian you must have to read this book I can't tell how much this book is surprising I swear this book is true and also all his series has solved bible's of secret!

[Andrew]

Despite its subtitle, the emphasis of this book is on the meaning of each of the names within the primordial genealogies. While this is well-researched and somewhat helpful, Reverend Park draws too much inference (often stated as fact) from his analysis of each of the names.
Some will criticise Reverend Park for taking a very literal view of the ages of these early fathers. This is helpful to understand the view of this very conservative reformed school of theology. Alternate views are not seriously considered. I felt that this book promised more than it delivered.

[Jared]

Knowing about the names of the patriarchs was nice. I am not overlly impressed with how he handles the ages that the patriarchs lived to. I was hoping he could give me something more.

[Geordy]
