Dr. Corbett Gaulden provides a coherent, text-centered analysis of the first eleven chapters of Genesis that is neither philosophical nor primarily theological in orientation, but rather allows the text to speak for itself, seeking to explicate its meaning in its plainest sense. As a starting point, he pre-assumes, as Genesis does, that God is the source and direct cause of everything that exists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe builds his argument around four basic declarations: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod exists and is the Creator of The Creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod pre-existed The Creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod exists in The Eternal, which pre-existed and is independent of The Creation and is the un-created source of the created substance of The Creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod was purposeful in His acts of creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe crux of Dr. Gaulden's argument is that love was God's first and most basic motivation for The Creation, and that mankind was His end purpose-a family of \"sons\" who would enter freely into an eternal love relationship with Him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Corbett Gaulden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8986213354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798986213354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Raven's Food\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Corbett Gaulden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123088519423,"sku":"9798986213354","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5071e581-9e3e-4e20-8659-e7f4c5785bda.jpg?v=1687428855","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-beginning-from-the-end-corbett-gaulden-9798986213354","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
