Contours of Creation (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781666721713)

If we pick up the Bible as God's word and at the beginning read with trepidation, then the whole of the Bible is so read. This book was written to help Christians navigate some of the forces of modernity, which have crept into the church and influenced the way Christians view the reliability of the biblical creation account and more generally the Bible. Its purpose is to encourage readers to see the steadfastness of God's word as a way of making sense of our lives and the world we live in. It hopes to show that a faith-based-historical-reading of Gen 1-3 provides a more trustworthy explanation of reality than atheistic evolutionary theories or reading the Genesis story as a make-believe myth. But the book is not a polemic, per se. It proposes a faith-based-historical-reading of the creation story in hopes of learning more about God, creation, and ourselves.
