The Historical Bible: Genesis

Read the Bible like never before with historical insight and apocryphal text.

The book of Genesis provides a framework for the beginning of all things. The Historical Bible fills in that frame with textual substance designed to bring the reader into a better understanding of some of the most popular stories within Christendom by answering questions such as:

1. Is there archeological evidence that supports the existence of Sodom and Gomorrah and its destruction?
2. Was God asking Abraham to sin when told to sacrifice Isaac, or was human sacrifice permissible before Levitical law?
3. What event famished Esau to the point of selling his birthright to Jacob?
