THE BIBLE AS A CONNECTED LIBRARY
Genesis does not stand alone.
Genesis 3 frames the Bible's conflict between rebellion and promised victory.
The Abrahamic promises shape Exodus, Israel's land story, the prophets, the Gospels, Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews.
Joseph's descent into Egypt prepares the setting of Exodus.
