Author Description

Ever since Charles Darwin's 'Origin of Species' there has been controversy about origins. Are we to believe Genesis or the evolutionists? This book believes the controversy is unnecessary. By carefully analysing what Genesis actually says, and by understanding what kind of documents (note the plural) Genesis contains, we can accept all that modern science has discovered about the age of the cosmos and our planet, and still value Genesis. Genesis is answering a different set of questions. The author offers a new version of the creation myth, and the myth about human origins. The whole book of Genesis is presented in a modern translation with comments and explanations, in the hope that its importance is fully appreciated, especially in the 21st century. In addition to the early myths in Genesis, the questions about Noah's flood, the significance of Abraham to three modern religions, and many other topics are also covered.
