Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, people have wondered about the validity of the stories in Genesis. Were they myths, folklore, or misinterpretations? As science has advanced in the last two hundred years, these questions have become more prominent in the minds of skeptics and believers alike. How could there be only six days of creation? Was Adam really the first man on earth? What about this talking snake? The answers to these and other questions have been buried away in mystery and just waiting to be uncloaked. It's time to uncover the truths hidden away for thousands of years. This book answers these hard-hitting questions head-on. It's for believers of many faiths, the confused, and skeptics, anyone who has ever doubted if there really is a God. It's long overdue to embrace a paradigm shift and finally rethink Genesis.
Download or read book Rethinking Genesis written by Duane A. Garrett and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An assessment of the origins of the book of Genesis. Garrett looks at the various possible sources of information that Moses drew on in putting together his account of the origins of the earth and the appearance of the history of Israel. The documentary hypothesis has always been criticised from conservative theological circles. This has tended to be in the form of outright opposition to the concept and the insistence that Moses used no other source than inspiration by the Holy Spirit. The uniqueness of Garrett's approach is that he combines conservative theology with an investigation of the possible sources of information available to Moses.
Download or read book Rethinking Genesis 1 11 written by Gordon Wenham and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-13 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genesis 1-11 contains some of the best-known stories in the world. To modern Westerners they may look like no more than entertaining tales that children can enjoy, but modern adults cannot take seriously. However, when read in the context of the ancient Orient, Genesis 1-11 looks very different. It turns out to be a truly revolutionary document. In retelling the history of the ancient world, it puts a new spin on it by introducing an all-powerful, all-knowing, unique God whose greatest concern is human welfare. The God who appears in Genesis 1-11 is the God presupposed by all the Old Testament writers, indeed by the New Testament as well. The gripping tales of Genesis thus provide the theological spectacles for a sympathetic reading of the Bible. They are the gateway to a valid understanding of its message and can even help modern believers construct a worldview that integrates both the discoveries of modern science and the insights of Christian theology.

Download or read book The Genesis of Technoscientific Revolutions written by Venkatesh Narayanamurti and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research powers innovation and technoscientific advance, but it is due for a rethink, one consistent with its deeply holistic nature, requiring deeply human nurturing. Research is a deeply human endeavor that must be nurtured to achieve its full potential. As with tending a garden, care must be taken to organize, plant, feed, and weedÑand the manner in which this nurturing is done must be consistent with the nature of what is being nurtured. In The Genesis of Technoscientific Revolutions, Venkatesh Narayanamurti and Jeffrey Tsao propose a new and holistic system, a rethinking of the nature and nurturing of research. They share lessons from their vast research experience in the physical sciences and engineering, as well as from perspectives drawn from the history and philosophy of science and technology, research policy and management, and the evolutionary biological, complexity, physical, and economic sciences. Narayanamurti and Tsao argue that research is a recursive, reciprocal process at many levels: between science and technology; between questions and answer finding; and between the consolidation and challenging of conventional wisdom. These fundamental aspects of the nature of research should be reflected in how it is nurtured. To that end, Narayanamurti and Tsao propose aligning organization, funding, and governance with research; embracing a culture of holistic technoscientific exploration; and instructing people with care and accountability.
Download or read book Reading the Wife Sister Narratives in Genesis written by Hwagu Kang and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Genesis introduces three similar wife/sister narratives, commonly thought to be originating from different sources because of their repetitive entries. This research explores the wife/sister narratives in Genesis (Gen 12:10-13:1, 20:1-18, and 26:1-11), and it aims to provide an understanding of the three stories as a whole by uncovering its context by textlinguistic and literary type-scene analysis. Textlinguistic analysis helps us to see how each wife/sister narrative functions in its context, while type-scene analysis emphasizes how the three narratives develop and contribute to the patriarchal narratives through their similarities and variations. Although the traditional type-scene analysis studies recurrent fixed motives in texts, this study focuses much more on literary aspects such as characterization, theme, and plot. Through this study, the three wife/sister stories will elaborate that the patriarchal narratives are not results of different authors, but the well-developed products of a single author. The three wife/sister stories work together to highlight God's faithfulness to his promises (Gen 12:1-3).

Download or read book Before Abraham Was written by Isaac M. Kikawada and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebelling against a century of Old Testament scholarship, Isaac M. Kikawada and Arthur Quinn persuasively argue that the first eleven chapters of Genesis are not a literary patchwork by different editors as widely supposed, but are the work of one author of extraordinary subtlety and skill. Comparing Genesis 1-11 with primeval histories from the ancient Near East, Kikawada and Quinn urge their readers to appreciate the ingenuity of Genesis's author: "When we think we find this author napping, we had better proceed very carefully. As with Homer or Shakespeare, when you think you have seen something wrong, there may well be something wrong with your own eyes. You are more likely to be wrong than either of them." Providing a solid case for the unity of Genesis's first eleven chapters, Kikawada and Quinn move on to show how these chapters provide a formal structure for other Old Testament histories. Destined to have lasting impact on biblical scholarship, Before Abraham Was will give scholars, clergy, and students a new appreciation of critical biblical studies and a new hypothesis for the formation of Genesis.
Download or read book Rethinking Genesis One written by Tom Gender and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-10 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first chapter of Genesis may very well be the most debated narrative in the entire Bible. Its precise meaning has become a controversial and divisive issue within Christianity, as well as a cause for skepticism among non-Christians regarding the trustworthiness of Scripture. This book aims to alleviate some of the consternation, confusion, and conflict about this famous passage. This has become such a convoluted and emotional topic that people are overthinking it. That's why it is time to rethink it. The popular Old-Earth and Young-Earth views cannot explain all the evidence, so a fresh perspective is needed. Allow a critical thinking layman to guide you through the relevant issues and show you that a faithful, literal interpretation of the biblical text has absolutely no conflict with modern science. You might be surprised by the results.
Download or read book Adam and the Genome written by Scot McKnight and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genomic science indicates that humans descend not from an individual pair but from a large population. What does this mean for the basic claim of many Christians: that humans descend from Adam and Eve? Leading evangelical geneticist Dennis Venema and popular New Testament scholar Scot McKnight combine their expertise to offer informed guidance and answers to questions pertaining to evolution, genomic science, and the historical Adam. Some of the questions they explore include: - Is there credible evidence for evolution? - Do we descend from a population or are we the offspring of Adam and Eve? - Does taking the Bible seriously mean rejecting recent genomic science? - How do Genesis's creation stories reflect their ancient Near Eastern context, and how did Judaism understand the Adam and Eve of Genesis? - Doesn't Paul's use of Adam in the New Testament prove that Adam was a historical individual? The authors address up-to-date genomics data with expert commentary from both genetic and theological perspectives, showing that genome research and Scripture are not irreconcilable. Foreword by Tremper Longman III and afterword by Daniel Harrell.

Download or read book Old Testament Theology and the Rest of God written by Nicholas J. Haydock and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rest is a largely neglected theme escaping Old Testament studies, yet is notably prominent in the text itself, arising at many of the key moments of the Old Testament--the creation, the flood, the conquest and exile of the land, the covenant with David, and the construction of the temple. Haydock explores the ways in which God's rest interacts with the direction of the narrative, noting also its role in shaping both Israel's worship and their messianic expectation. In this fascinating study, Haydock considers the importance and place of rest in the ancient Mesopotamian worldview, arguing that Israel's theology of rest played an important part in their message to the nations. This message of a sovereign and gracious God offering his rest to all peoples contrasts sharply with the nations' false perception of how "rest" was to be experienced and enjoyed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this challenging book Cyril Rodd questions many of the assumptions that lie behind recent studies of Old Testament ethics. He views the 'strangeness' of the biblical world and wonders whether there is an Old Testament ethics in the modern sense of the word - finding rather that the Old Testament writers did not regard many of today's ethical dilemmas as problems at all.Dr Rodd examines all the Old Testament writings on five ethical issues: the poor, war, treatment of animals, ecology and the position of women. He considers their validity and relevance for today and discusses the extent to which they can be referred to for authority - or for inspiration and guidance..

Download or read book Becoming Israel written by Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book pulls back the layers of translation traditions by looking at the original Hebrew of the Book of Genesis itself. Most people think that because the majority of Bible translators are committed to God that they would never introduce anything of "their own" into the text of translation. But, truth be told, objective translation is impossible because any text is understood through the worldview of the translator. Translation is in some way an act of interpretation of the original Scriptures. By slowly reading this book you will discover for yourself the riches of the Ancient Hebrew stories that were first written to provide a guide for the emerging people of Israel. Whether you are part of today's "Jewish people" or what many have come to call a "Jewish coalition" - the members of the nations of the world that worship Israel's God in Christ Jesus along with the people of Israel - this book is for you, because these great Torah stories are your heritage as well. Without them you, too, just like an Israelite of old, do not know where you came from and where it is that you are going.
