In this astute mix of cultural critique and biblical studies, John H.
Walton presents and defends 20 propositions supporting a literary and
theological understanding of Genesis 1 within the context of the ancient
Near Eastern world and unpacks its implications for our modern
scientific understanding of origins. Ideal for students, professors,
pastors and lay readers with an interest in the intelligent design
controversy and creation-evolution debates, Walton's thoughtful analysis
unpacks seldom appreciated aspects of the biblical text and sets
Bible-believing scientists free to investigate the question of origins.
