  • Faithfully expounds the text of Genesis 1-11, avoiding the twin pitfalls of anachronism (finding answers to questions that were never addressed by the Genesis author) and secularism (ruling Genesis out of court for teaching antiquated nonsense).
  • While acknowledging the agendas of modern readers (the nature of the flood, questions about dinosaurs, the age of Methuselah, the length of a creation day, evolution, and so on), remains on track in expounding on the ancient agenda (which is the true god; the purpose of human
  • life; what is success, and what to think when our crops fail; what to think of the religions of Canaan, Egypt, or Babylon; how to live faithfully...)
  • Lays the bold proclamations of Genesis beside the lame assertions of ancient religion-greatly increasing our appreciation of Scripture.
  • Provides biblical solutions to the many problem passages of Genesis 1-11.
  • Addresses the doubts and removes the excuses of those who find stumbling blocks in early Genesis.
  • Doesn't dodge the tough questions.
  • Abundant chapter endnotes for those who want to go deeper. [currently > 240]
  • Just as Genesis 1-11 was outside-the-box in its time, Origins leaves the safety of traditional interpretation to get behind the text.
