Scriptural Response Two
In this paper, I will write a scriptural response to the assigned reading of the NIV Study Bible and the Wiersbe Bible Commentary. I will write my response to chapters twelve through fifty of Genesis and chapters fourteen through thirty-eight of the Wiersbe Bible Commentary. Main Characters
