This Bible study on Genesis 9 explores the origin of races through Noah's sons and the controversial curse of Canaan. Les Feldick explains God's instructions on capital punishment and how these ancient events shaped human history and the spread of the Gospel.
Les Feldick takes us through Genesis 9 verse by verse, detailing the covenant with Noah and the specific instructions given to humanity after the Flood. He addresses difficult questions about Noah's drunkenness, the true nature of Ham's sin, and why Canaan was cursed instead of Ham.
