"the beginning" is the literal meaning of the word Genesis. The early church had no problem in believing The Bible to be literally true since they had experienced first-hand the power of God in His raising Jesus from the dead. This Jesus, is explicitly mentioned in John as the creator:
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Unlike today there was no controversy over Genesis 1 either. They saw it as completely logical and sensible to believe Genesis as literal history, since they had no evidence to contradict it.
One of the greatest teachers of the early Church was Saint Augustine of Hippo. He wrote extensively on theology and philosophy, and his works have had a profound impact on Christian thought.
