"To be ignorant of what happened before you were born is to remain a child always," claimed the Roman orator Cicero. Perhaps that's why Genesis is one of the most loved and hated books ever written.

Their bite-sized chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to the Straight to the Heart series.
