New Series on Genesis 1-11
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.
NT Wright interview, 4-20-10
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.
Creating Adam
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 [...]
Paul’s Adam (Part 4)
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 [...]
Pauls’ Adam (Part 3)
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.
Paul’s Adam (part 2)
I am still at it over on BioLogos. This week I am beginning to list some of the issues that invariably arise when we try to understand how Paul was using Adam. The purpose of these posts is to lay issues out on the table for further reflection.
Paul’s Adam (part 1)
My next post at BioLogos is about Paul’s Adam. The issue of the historical Adam is a very difficult one for many Christians. Scientific and archaeological evidence make a strictly literal/historical reading of the Adam story impossible. Many Christians realize this and so give considerable thought to what the significance of the Adam story is [...]
Adam is Israel
Here is my latest BioLogos post. This one is on how Adam is not the first human but “proto-Israel.” The point here follows on my previous posts on the cosmic battle motif in Exodus.
Exodus, Mt. Sinai and Creation
Here is my next BioLogos post on Exodus and the Cosmic battle. I will have one more in the series next week, at which time I hope to start negotiating the film rights. This post is about how the tabernacle and the law are creation events. It will change your life….or at least hold your [...]
Exodus and the Cosmic Battle (Again)
Here is my latest BioLogos post. I look at the plagues as the reintroduction of chaos and how several themes come together at the Red Sea incident.
