Are you struggling with the traditional interpretation of the Genesis creation story?
Why is it that dinosaurs are not mentioned? Does Genesis present us with an accurate portrayal of the origins of humanity that stand up to scientific and historical evidence? What about talking snakes? And where did Cain’s wife come from? Did people like Adam really live for hundreds of years? Was the flood in Noah’s time a global event?
Many aspects of the early chapters of Genesis have come to be regarded as fables or metaphors devised by primitive people to explain their origins. Yet the Apostle Paul obviously regarded Adam and Eve as real people who existed in the past. Was he wrong?
‘In the beginning’ is a study that explores this early narrative from the opening verse of Genesis to the time of Abraham’s birth. It offers some radical, new, but coherent interpretations that nevertheless remain consistent with the text of Scripture. This study, originally written in 2020, has now been revised to remove some repetitive sections of text, amplify a few explanations and eliminate some grammatical errors. It is available from Amazon as a paperback book.
