As I begin to actually dig into the text of Scripture, in the study of an entire book, my first order of business is to read through the entire book and make a chapter title for each chapter. To do this I try to pick out what the key theme or subject of the chapter is (or the major one if there are many), sum it up in about three words -- the shorter the better, no more than five usually, exact biblical words or phrases preferred -- and then write the summary down as a reminder of what is going on in each of the chapters. Today I read through the first six chapters of Genesis.
1. So God Created
2. God Rested
3. Now the Serpent
4. Then Cain
5. Generations of Adam
6. Noah Found Favor
