Genesis

『Everlasting Gospel Series: Genesis』는 성경의 첫 장, 창세기에서 복음의 빛을 발견하는 여정으로 독자를 초대합니다. 저자는 성령의 영감 아래 기록된 성경이 하나의 일관된 메시지, 즉 예수 그리스도를 통한 구원의 복음을 증언하고 있음을 강조합니다.
이 책은 단순한 교리 해설서가 아니라, '성경을 성경으로 해석하는' 정통 신학적 연구서입니다. 구약의 언약과 율법, 신약의 은혜와 구속을 연결하여 하나님의 영원한 구속 계획을 총체적으로 보여줍니다. 저자는 성경 본문을 깊이 연구하며, 히브리어 성경의 언어적 뉘앙스와 문맥적 의미를 통해 창세기 속에서 이미 계시된 그리스도의 복음을 드러냅니다.
『Everlasting Gospel Series: Genesis』는 오늘날 왜곡된 신앙과 혼탁한 사상 속에서 진리의 본질로 돌아가기를 원하는 모든 독자에게 신학적 방향성을 제시하는 나침반이 될 것입니다. 이 책을 통해 독자들은 하나님의 말씀 안에서 창조의 목적과 구원의 비밀, 그리고 재림의 소망을 새롭게 발견하게 될 것입니다.
