In The Universal Story, Dru Johnson shows how Genesis 1–11 is written in a way that informs the rest of biblical history - including the exodus, the kings of Israel, the exile, the Gospels, and early church. Genesis 1–11 presents a story of humanity that seeks to explain the background of every human endeavor. These bizarre and ancient stories frame the story of God and His plan for earth and humanity. Through these stories, God speaks and pleads with us.
