#1. Gen 5: Genealogies

Welcome to What in the Word? – the podcast where we delve into the obscure parts of the Bible and uncover their hidden excitement. In this episode, we explore Genesis 4 and 5. These genealogies can seem irrelevant, but they advance the story of Genesis while supporting its theological themes.

Discover how genealogies act as a narrative fast-forward button, connecting stories and emphasizing the importance of faith and the human connection to God, and how deviations in the patterns reveal important truth.

Through these genealogies, we see the tension between blessing and death and how God's control over the spread of sin ensures future blessings for all humanity. Shoot an email to whatintheword@tuta.com if you have a part of the Bible that makes you wonder!
