[From Justin Buzzard:](http://www.buzzardblog.com/buzzard%5Fblog/2008/04/god-is-the-subj.html?ref=dashhouse.com)

> It is no accident that God is the subject of the first sentence of the Bible, for this word dominates the whole chapter and catches the eye at every point of the page: it is used some thirty-five times in as many verses of the story. The passage, indeed the Book, is about him first of all; to read it with any other primary interest (which is all too possible) is to misread it. (Derek Kidner, [*Genesis, Tyndale Old Testament Commentary Series*](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0877842515/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com))
