The Lost World of Genesis One - Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate by John H Walton

The Lost World of Genesis One - Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate by John H Walton

In this astute mix of cultural critique and biblical studies, John H. Walton presents and defends twenty 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.

Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, John H. Walton (PhD, Hebrew Union College). He is the author or editor of various works, including The Lost World of Genesis One, The Lost World of the Israelite Conquest, The Lost World of Adam and Eve, Old Testament Theology for Christians, and The IVP Biblical Background Commentary: Old Testament. He talks frequently on understanding the Old Testament in its ancient context.
