Download or read book Revisiting the Days of Genesis written by Bryan C. Hodge and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A commitment to historical-grammatical hermeneutics often has been confused with a commitment to literal language. Time, in our modern conception, has been construed as a measurement of temporal units, and the numbers assigned to them, as merely counting those units. However, a study is needed to explore whether this is the Genesis author's use of time, and whether numerical values utilized suggest something other than tracking simple measurements. This book attempts to offer an answer to this question by analyzing the ancient Near Eastern and literary context of the Book of Genesis in terms of its use of temporal language in determining its value within the narrative. It is the contention of this book that both of these concepts have been misunderstood to such an extent that these misperceptions often obstruct interpreters from understanding the sociological and theological intent of the author to convey a theology of God, man, creation, and chaos that addresses concerns of both the ancient and the modern reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much of God’s creation do you notice each day? God’s infinite wisdom and the depth of his love for us can be seen through the things he has made. Did you know that some creationist ideas actually conflict with the Bible? Patterns we see in the natural world are not accidental. Each one is a reflection of order and careful design. Is the Bible’s account of creation compatible with scientific fact? Do you have to be anti-science to believe in creation? The Bible describes six “days,” during which God created life. Were these 24-hour days? How long were the creation days? When was “the beginning”? Has science disproved the Bible’s account of creation? Andrews will lay out the biblical interpretation concerning the creation days of Genesis. There are over a dozen different interpretations concerning the creative days of Genesis. In THE CREATION DAYS OF GENESIS, Andrews will consider the main four to get at how God created the heavens and the earth. Andrews will give the reader the Bible’s answer to these questions, i.e., God’s Viewpoint. Moreover, readers will find real meaning and purpose in life, based on accurate knowledge of the Creator and his creative activity, as was written and what is revealed in the Bible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, The Days of Mankind was initially drafted in the year 1993/94. A time when the author was unemployed, which allowed him to commune and fellowship with his Father more than usual. It was then that he began reading the book of Genesis and the Lord began to open his eyes to His hidden truths now revealed to you in this book. While many years had pasted, he was drawn back to Genesis in early 2003 and more revelations came from the same chapter he thought it not possible to contain additional hidden mysteries of God. He shares this for reason that we should not limit what God is capable of revealing through His word by his Spirit. As such, even that which has been revealed to him and are written in this book, The Days of Mankind does not put a cap on what God can reveal to you. He had purposed the publish this book in 2012, the year of the Covenant, believing it to be the set time for its release to the world.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen theological scholars address key topics related to the age of the earth, which is the crucial issue of debate in the church today regarding origins. Bringing to bear rigorous biblical, theological, and historical arguments in favor of a six-day creation, the global Flood, and a young earth, they also provide much-needed critiques of a number of contemporary old-earth interpretations of the book of Genesis. This fresh defense of the literal history of Genesis 1-11 nicely complements other studies which focus more on the scientific evidence of young-earth creationism. As such, this book can serve as a versatile supplement to other works, but is also designed to be used as a standalone text for seminary and Bible college professors and students, pastors, missionaries, and others who want in-depth apologetic resources.

Download or read book Grappling With the Chronology of the Genesis Flood written by Steven W. Boyd and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2014 with total page 855 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understand this highly debated flash point for scientific debate, academic criticism, and common confusion with this unique presentation. Delve into the technical aspects of the chronology, historicity, and significance of understanding this landmark event, including what we can learn from the Hebrew words used to describe it.Examine the numerous geological, geophysical, and paleontological indications pointing to the reality and global scope of the Flood.Learn how and why the authors' exhaustive research began, putting forth objectives, criticisms they would address, and identifying obstacles to be resolved. The Flood as described in the Book of Genesis not only shaped the global landscape, it is an event that literally forms our understanding of early biblical history. Now an experienced team of scientists and theologians has written a definitive account of the Genesis Flood with detailed research into the original biblical text and evidences unlocked by modern science and study. Often recounted and discounted as just a myth or children's story, what we find with deeper study is instead a cataclysmic event, one that truly wiped out life on our planet with the exception of those preserved through God's plan. The devastation the Genesis Flood wreaked upon a rebellious world remains an important part of the biblical narrative we should understand for what it was - a divine act of judgment on a sin-immersed world.
Download or read book Days or Ages the Genesis Question written by Jerry Harmon and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-03-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Days? or Ages? offers a fresh look at a centuries-old debate. Does the Bible say creation was accomplished within one week of time beginning a few thousand years ago, or over countless millennia beginning millions or even billions of years in the distant past? Opinions abound from biblical scholars, scientists and laypeople alike, and achieving a clear perspective can be difficult at best. This work summarizes a thorough examination of Genesis 1, including relevant passages from other parts of the Bible, all in plain, straightforward language. Rather than begin with assumptions, as so many opinions do, and from there select and interpret scriptures in such a way as to support a given view; this work instead first provides a detailed examination of what Scripture itself appears to revealall Scripture that bears on the issueand then examines what one might reasonably conclude. Although written by a layman, it draws from a wealth of scholarly works by some of the worlds leading theologians and other learned professionals. Whatever ones opinion might be, this thesis will be informative reading and a significant resource to help clear away some of the clouds of mystery surrounding one of the Bibles most challenging subjects.
