God is the Subject of the First Sentence of the Bible

Today, in my research and writing of my study guide on Genesis, I came across this excellent quote by Derek Kidner, commenting on Genesis chapter 1:

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.
