Author Description

Welcome to the study guide for Before Genesis, a novel by authors Donna Howell and<br/>Dr. Tom Horn, addressing the issues of women in leadership, pastoral, evangelical and<br/>missionary positions within the church. From the SkyWatch TV introduction to the book:<br/><br/>By far, the leading interpretation of today’s Church regarding the age of this planet,<br/>Earth, takes us back to approximately 4004 BC: the year believed to be Adam’s creation.<br/><br/>However, just as Galileo challenged the Church to accept that Earth circles the sun (not<br/>the other way around), it is far beyond time for traditional interpretations regarding our planet’s<br/>earliest ages—and what occurred between God and Lucifer during those eras—to be updated in<br/>light of what we know today. Once this is done, the evidence overwhelmingly stacks in favor of<br/>a harmony between science and theology.<br/><br/>Dr. Thomas Horn and his research assistant, Donna Howell, have waded through<br/>thousands of scholarly journals, books, articles, videos, and other media to present an astounding<br/>work like none other in this field of study that brings a fresh, modern perspective to<br/>contemporary sciences, the age-old question of what God’s first enemy did to Earth in the days it<br/>was “without form, and void” (Genesis 1:2), and what may have really happened in the days of<br/>Adam.
