The Metamorphosis Of The Pentateuch: The First Book Of Genesis

The bible reserves the first eleven chapters of Genesis, which include creation, rebellion in the garden, violence, and judgment all known as the Pentateuch and still to this day the author of the Pentateuch is still unknown. But, throughout the Pentateuch God punishes humanity for all the sin, and shows us that even though we messed up he still has a plan for society which is his redemption plan.
