<transcy>The book of origins (La Genèse le livre des Origines)</transcy>
Presentation
If Genesis is indeed the book of the origins, those of the universe, of humanity and of the people of God, it is also the one that serves as the foundation for the rest of the biblical text . This work clearly emphasizes this double dimension in its function of guide of the whole of Genesis, which it continually links both to the great theme of the salvation accomplished in history and in Jesus Christ, to the rest of Scripture and to everyday life.
