The purpose of this book is to offer a logical, common sense translation of the book of Genesis. It is not written as a dogmatic statement of absolute authority, but rather it is meant as a translation that conforms to the literal writing of Genesis. I am aware that it differs widely from conventional teachings.

The purpose of this book is to offer a logical, common sense translation of the book of Genesis. It is not written as a dogmatic statement of absolute authority, but rather it is meant as a translation that conforms to the literal writing of Genesis. I am aware that it differs widely from conventional teachings. When I first read the book of Genesis, however, I did not have the benefit of much formal religious training, so I was not influenced by the opinions and interpretations of others. From the outset I formed the theories that are stated here based on the words I read, and further study has only served to strengthen those concepts. This is what the book of Genesis says to me. I offer it as a possible alternative to the interpretations that have been handed down unquestioned and unchallenged for several hundred years. What this book is not is a work of apologetics. I have begun with the assumption that the Bible says what it means, and means what it says.

Autorenporträt
Many years ago I was listening to a teaching tape by Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California. He was talking about Jesus's selection of the men who were to become His disciples. He said that Jesus did not choose perfect men for the job, but rather He used normal, everyday people, people with flaws and failings just like the rest of us. The phrase Chuck used was, "Jesus built with crooked sticks." That phrase made a huge impression on me. My thought was, "I want to be a crooked stick. I want to do something useful, something that would be pleasing to my Lord." After many years of thought and study, the result is this book. My hope is that this book can help resolve doubt or help restore faith or lead just one person to a path that will result in the acceptance of the truth of the Holy Scriptures. Along the way, an additional hope would be that someone out there would also become excited about being a "crooked stick."
