The Middle East continues to be very much in the news. While it is known as the “cradle of civilization,” what we see happening there now seems anything but civilized.

How did it get to this point? Many of today’s problems can be traced back to what is recorded in the first book of the Bible. The book of Genesis records the history of early man. Some of those early events add to the feeling of protracted ill-will that is there today. It gives us information about God, the origin of nations and where life comes from.

Unfortunately, many read this historical account of early man and believe it is fiction or a record of legends. They believe it cannot possibly be true. How can you know if this book is really an accurate record of ancient events? 

One study aid available is Answers from Genesis. It reviews often-asked questions about the book of Genesis that will help assure you that this book is legitimate. It will give additional insight into what is happening in the Middle East today.
