Description

The book of Genesis brings us back to beginnings. And in the beginning, we meet God.

In Created for Communion with God, Harrison Perkins explains that the creation account of Genesis 1–2 is primarily about God and his relationship with human beings. These chapters are God’s word for God’s people, to summon us into communion with him. Perkins’s theological reflections reveal God’s glory and goodness, highlight the good news of Jesus, and encourage the soul.

Endorsements

"This accessible but theologically rich book will open up the meaning of creation and deepen your relationship with the Creator. It is an excellent example of theological interpretation of Scripture written for the church by a pastor who draws on the riches of the history of commentary on Scripture. The focus is on what the Genesis creation account teaches us about the nature and purposes of God. Highly recommended!"
—Craig A. Carter, research professor of theology, Tyndale University, Toronto; theologian in residence, Westney Heights Baptist Church, Ontario

"This book is accessible to every Christian. It clarifies our created purpose, and it compels us to draw near to God. I encourage you to give this book your attention so that you can see Genesis 1–2 anew, not as written to stir up controversy about creation, but rather communion with our Triune Creator."
—Chad Vegas, pastor, Sovereign Grace Church, Bakersfield, California
