Here are some famous quotes about the first book in the Bible, Genesis.
Saint Augustine (354–430 AD)
“In the beginning, God created — these words are the foundation of all that we believe. The world is not eternal; it had a beginning, and that beginning was God Himself.”
C. S. Lewis (1898–1963)
“The first chapters of Genesis give the story of the human condition — not as science, but as revelation — showing us not how man came to be, but why he is as he is.”
John Calvin (1509–1564)
“The Book of Genesis is the fountain from which the whole of Scripture flows. For there we see both the origin of the world and the covenant of God with man.”
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks (1948–2020)
“Genesis is not a book about beginnings alone; it is a book about relationships — between God and humanity, man and woman, brother and brother — and how the drama of freedom unfolds.”
