Here is the third and final BioLogos post on the differences between the two creation accounts in Genesis 1 and 2 (God’s names, different methods of creating, different views of humanity). The purpose of seeing these differences is not to hold the two stories apart, but to understand why they are placed where they are [...]
Part two of my summary of the differences between the two creation stories in Genesis is posted today on the BioLogos blog. This week I look at the different literary styles and different depictions of God.
Gary Anderson (if I have to explain you wouldn’t understand) has shared some thoughts on Augustine and Scripture at BioLogos. Specifically, Anderson’s post concerns Adam and how Augustine understood him with respect to Eve’s culpability in the fall. This post does not directly affect the kinds of scientific matters that normally occupy BioLogos, but there [...]
I am starting a new series of posts on BioLogos on Genesis 1-11. The first two or three will be on “Israel’s Two Creations Stories” (Genesis 1 and 2), and part 1 is up now.
I am interviewing NT Wright in NYC tomorrow on camera for BioLogos. Apparently, you can submit questions through Twitter or the BioLogos Facebook page, and we will see what we can get to.
You can access the WNT piece on YouTube. As you can see, I am on camera for about as much time as it takes you to sneeze. Still, I am sitting by the phone patiently waiting for movie offers to come rolling in. All kidding aside (was I kidding?), you can see that the story [...]
I was interviewed yesterday in my home by ABC’s World News Tonight to discuss Bruce Waltke’s resignation from RTS last week. I had a chance to focus on some of the larger issues involved regarding Evangelicals, science, and faith. About two hours with the ABC crew will likely result in about 7 seconds of air [...]
My latest post about Adam is up at BioLogos. My point here is that any way of looking at Adam that does not accept Paul’s view of human descent from a first pair in recent history is “creating” an Adam beyond biblical parameters, and that such creative work is inevitable. My post today fits nicely [...]
Here is my final post at BioLogos on issues surrounding Paul’s understanding of Adam. You might also want to look at today’s video by world-renown theologian Alister McGrath and his understanding of Adam and Eve as “stereotypical figures.” All of this follows upon Bruce Waltke’s video posted last week, challenging Evangelicals to come to terms [...]
Here is my third post on BioLogos concerning Paul’s use of the Adam story. It is a continuation of a list of issues I began last week. These are matters that invariably arise when trying to understand this important but involved issue. The list will conclude next week.
