Index to The Good Book: A Humanist Bible

The Good Book: A Humanist Bible is a book released in 2011 by A.C. Grayling. I am writing a detailed series of reviews for this book, and have decided that as I go I would like to begin building an index for it (the book has no index or references). This should help users of the book zero in on important topics or themes they wish to reference.

This is a work in progress. Currently, this index includes only material from the book of Genesis, Chapters 1-5.
