In this astute mix of cultural critique and biblical studies, John H. Walton presents and defends twenty propositions supporting a literary and theological understanding of Genesis 1 within the context of the ancient Near Eastern world and unpacks its implications for our modern scientific understanding of origins. Ideal for students, professors, pastors, and lay listeners with an interest in the intelligent design controversy and creation-evolution debates, Walton's thoughtful analysis unpacks seldom appreciated aspects of the biblical text and sets Bible-believing scientists free to investigate the question of origins. The books in the Lost World series follow the pattern set by Bible scholar John H. Walton, bringing a fresh, close interpretation of the Hebrew text and knowledge of ancient Near Eastern literature to an accessible discussion of the biblical topic at hand, using a series of logic-based propositions.
