This book is a translation, abbreviated and revised, of the Chinese book, “EXPOSITION OF GENESIS, THE BOOK OF BEGINNINGS”. It has been prepared especially for those who are not familiar with the lovely stories of the Old Testament, and its object is to point such persons to the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is so plainly to be seen in almost every story.
An English translation of the Chinese original was made by a brother beloved in China. Typed copies of this were prepared, for her Master’s sake, by one who had learned to know Him in an Internment Camp: and these copies were abbreviated and revised by our beloved brother, Dr. Arthur C. Groth, with the help and advice of some of his friends. This was the last labor of love our brother undertook, before the Lord called him to that Home above, where His servants shall serve Him, as we cannot below.
For some years Dr. Groth had felt most keenly the need of a book such as this; and it is with gratitude to God it is now sent forth, his “desire accomplished”, which is “sweet to the soul.” May the Lord graciously accept it, hide the many imperfections, and use it for His own praise and glory, and the blessing of His people.
