I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
These are the summaries of the book of Genesis.
They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
