Description

What are we missing when we look at the creation narratives of Genesis only or primarily through the lens of modern discourse about science and religion?

Theologian Peter Bouteneff explores how first-millennium Christian understandings of creation can inform current thought in the church and in the public square.

He reaches back into the earliest centuries of our era to recover the meanings that early Jewish and Christian writers found in the stories of the six days of creation and of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Readers will find that their forbears in the faith saw in the Genesis narrative not simply an account of origins but also a rich teaching about the righteousness of God, the saving mission of Christ, and the destiny of the human creature.
