The Beginning

Genesis 1–11 · keyed to the ESV
4 partsabout 40 min each

Four parts walk a child through the first eleven chapters of Genesis — creation and the first family, the flood, the nations and the tower at Babel — and then stop and look at the world all of it happens in. Every part pairs the story with an English vocabulary and comprehension workbook and one Lokosmos Treasure Wisdom domain: real rivers, real cities, real materials, and an honest account of what the evidence for them does and does not settle.

Recommended Bible edition

This workbook is keyed to the wording of the ESV® Bible (Crossway) — chapter and verse references, proper names and the vocabulary taught follow the ESV. Any Bible works for reading: read the referenced passages in your own Bible, knowing that the word-study and quiz answers follow the ESV’s wording. The workbook retells and asks about each passage in its own original wording and reprints no Scripture text; nothing in it reproduces copyrighted material. On the age of the earth, the length of the creation days and the historicity questions around Genesis 1–11, we state what the text says and note plainly where sincere Christians read it differently.
