God made us to know him Encounter God in Genesis 1–2 See Jesus and the gospel in the creation accounts Learn how God created us for communion with him 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.
