Dreamers, Schemers, and First Blasphemers: The Creation Account of Moses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781461118343)

In The Beginning

It may be the most famous book on earth and also the most maligned. No wonder, for Moses saves eight in a barge and drowns half a million alive. He gives men death as the price of fruit. His heroes act like sheep in wolves' clothing, accustomed to the half-lie.

But Moses is to ages past what John is to future events. His Genesis gives us the birth of all - languages, nations, cities and kings, the family, sin, and redemption's plan.

And in Dreamers, Schemers, and First Blasphemers, author Joe Conti gives the reasons why:

• A first-earth was not lost in cosmic war
• Eden was just to the east of Kuwait
• Some megaliths may pre-date the flood
• The sons of god were indeed angels, but not the fathers of giants

Journey with us to the Promised Land, as Jacob wrestles with God and culture; Rebekah and Sarah champion election; Joseph defines the doctrine of dreams; and Abram is called to nullify Nimrod, antiquity's good boy gone bad. Melchizedek's here, with the glamorous serpent, the ark, and the Tower of Babel.

The saints scheme and dream, the wicked blaspheme, but in all of it God gets his due.
