The Foundations of Living: Keys to Getting the Most Out of Life
A Bible Study on Genesis 1:26-31 and 2:15-25
by Dr. Michael A. Brown
What does it actually mean to be human? Before Moses gave Israel a single commandment, before the church ever gathered for worship, God had already answered that question - in the opening pages of Genesis.
In The Foundations of Living, Dr. Michael A. Brown draws on nearly fifty years of pastoral ministry to walk readers through four foundational truths embedded in the creation account - what he calls God's Creation Principles: the Equality of Humanity, the Management of Creation, God-Ordained Marriage, and Union with God. Along the way, an excursus chapter unpacks the biblical essence of man - soul, spirit, and body - equipping readers to understand not just what God designed, but who He designed us to be.
Rooted in careful exegesis of Genesis 1 and 2, and building on Moses's charge to "choose life" (Deuteronomy 30:19-20) and Jesus's promise of life "abundantly" (John 10:10), this study speaks directly into a culture that has lost confidence in any transcendent design for human identity, marriage, and meaning. Each chapter includes:
- Scripture-anchored teaching at an accessible reading level for high schoolers, college students, and adults alike
- Cultural Challenge boxes that connect ancient truth to modern confusion over identity, gender, and meaning
- Insights from Conservative Christian Scholars - including Wayne Grudem, Bruce Waltke, Gordon Wenham, F. F. Bruce, D. A. Carson, John Piper, R. C. Sproul, and J. I. Packer
- Discussion questions designed for personal reflection or group Bible study, moving from comprehension to real-life application
Whether used in a classroom, a living-room Bible study, or personal devotional time, The Foundations of Living invites readers to test everything against Scripture - Berean-style - and to rediscover, from the very first chapters of the Bible, what it means to live the abundant life God intended.
