“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” – Genesis 1:3
The creation story in Genesis is one of the foundational stories in the Bible. And central to the creation account is language. Language is what shapes the entire world. But what language did God use? And how would the creation account look if it was re-imagined using American Sign Language (ASL)?
Signs of Creation by artist Kip Henderson, proficient in ASL himself, takes us through an exciting verse-by-verse artistic exploration of Genesis 1:1-2:3. Every page drips with meaning and beauty, capturing God's intimacy with His creation: His hands shape the land with the sign for “gathered.” Brilliant diamonds of light burst from His fingertips as He signs the word for “stars.” The sun learns its course through the heavens as it follows God’s finger in the sign “day.”
Come explore the Bible as you have never seen it before.
