This unusual anthology contains 568 select Scripture excerpts organized thematically according to the opening chapter of Genesis. In the majestic cadences of the King James Version, these selections variously sing of God’s majesty and mystery, life’s darkness and light, a divine ecology, distinctions and differences, seasons and cycles, the dependable and the unreliable, God’s economy, and Sabbath.
