18 oct. 2012 · Personally, it seems to me that "in the beginning" refers to time and "at the beginning" refers to placement.

For example: "at the beginning of the book" ,IMHO, emphasizes more the place [physically] (first pages/chapter etc') while "in the beginning of ...
I think from the beginning puts a little more emphasis and focus on the significance of the beginning. If you were talking about a business, perhaps "he" was there in the planning process and integral to starting the business. Since the beginning places more emphasis on the intervening time period.

12 déc. 2014 · The period will start in 15 minutes. vs I can barely remember the beginning of the period. Start has the sense of being a fixed point in time, while beginning could possibly refer to any time between the start and the halfway point.

"Begin" might also be for something that has already started. But to "start" marks the actual/exact time of launching an activity (to understand more clearly, consider these two examples: This is just the beginning [meaning, all the initial period] . It's 10:00 o'clock, folks; let's get started [whenever we talk about a specific time, we rather ...
13 déc. 2015 · Yes, OP is correct. "From the beginning" implies something which lasts until now, while "in the beginning" implies something which existed in the beginning only. Let me supplement this with an example: From the beginning, we have a three-tier political system. In the beginning, we had a two-tier political system. Hope the issue is clear now.
1 mai 2006 · 1. "In the beginning" are the first 3 words of many English translations of the Hebrew Old Testament; therefore, because for many English speakers, they resonate with religiosity, they are used less often than "at the beginning." 2. In the phrase, "let's begin ---- the beginning," AT appears to be almost universally used.
4 oct. 2015 · They are certainly synonymous, and maybe 90% interchangeable. To me, "from the start" sounds slightly more informal.
