This eBook was produced by David Widger from etext #1581 prepared by Dennis McCarthy, Atlanta, Georgia and Tad Book, student, Pontifical North American College, Rome "The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 01: Genesis" is a religious text that falls under the genre of sacred scripture, initially translated in the late 16th century and later revised in the 18th century. This text serves as the first book of the Old Testament and provides a theological and historical foundation for Judeo-Christian beliefs. Its primary topic revolves around the creation of the world, the origins of humanity, and the early narratives of the patriarchs, particularly focusing on the figures of Adam, Noah, and Abraham. The opening of Genesis establishes the creation narrative, where God creates the heavens and the earth in six days, culminating in the creation of humanity in His own image. It details God's instructions to Adam, the introduction of Eve from Adam's rib, and ultimately the fall of humanity through disobedience, marked by their consumption of the forbidden fruit. The text elaborates on the consequences of this act, leading to the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Additionally, it discusses the lineage from Adam to Noah, setting the stage for the subsequent catastrophic flood and God's covenant with Noah, establishing the foundation of the biblical narrative that follows.
