Calvin and Evolution

Pete Enns — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 16:52:45 +0000

Today I posted the fifth post in a series of posts on Calvin and evolution. The previous four posts can be found on the links to the right of that page.

The Story of Cain

Pete Enns — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 12:11:57 +0000

For the last several weeks I have been blogging at BioLogos on the story of Cain and how early interpreters handled some of the ambiguities in that story. The overall purpose of that series is to encourage hermeneutical self-awareness as interpreters today try to read that story well.

I normally link my BioLogos posts weekly, but, hey….I’ve been busy. Here they are, in order: one, two, three, and today’s entry four.

Jesus the Artist

My post today at BioLogos draws an analogy between Jesus’ use of parables and an artist’s attempt to engage the whole person through vivid imagery, symbolism, and metaphor rather than a simple appeal to the intellect. Some things are so important they cannot be left to reside in the life of the mind, but must be told through stories that capture humans at a deeper level.

Adam and Eve and Their Nakedness

This week’s BioLogos post is up on Adam and Eve’s nakedness and why some early interpreters had a problem with it.

Some thoughts about Eve in the Garden

This week’s BioLogos post is up on Genesis and Ancient Interpreters, this one about Eve.

Ancient Interpreters and the Garden Paradise

This week’s BioLogos post is up this morning.

Two for One BioLogos Posts

Pete Enns — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:08:45 +0000

I was away most of the last 10 days speaking at Asuza Pacific University and then at the Society of Biblical Literature in Atlanta. In all the hustle and bustle I forgot to link last week’s BioLogos post on the serpent in Genesis 3, so here it is and you can stop sending me threatening emails.

And while I’m at it, here to complete your weekend reading schedule is this week’s post on whether Adam or Eve is to blame for transgressing God’s command not to eat from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.

I plan on posting soon the manuscript of my talk at Asuza Pacific entitled “The Benefit of Doubt.” It is an expansion of my BioLogos post by the same name.

Before Creation, there was….what?

Pete Enns — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 12:14:23 +0000

This week’s post is up at BioLogos, where I look at what, according to early Jewish interpreters, might have already existed before creation in Genesis 1.

Genesis, Creation, and Ancient Interpreters: Who is “Us”?

Pete Enns — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:47:31 +0000

This week’s post is up at BioLogos discussing how some early interpreters handled the phrase “let us make” in Gen 1:26.

When were the Angels Created?

Pete Enns — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 12:36:13 +0000

This week’s BioLogos post is up in which I look at how early interpreters “found” the creation of angels in Genesis 1. The problem they addressed was why, among all the things listed in Genesis 1, were the angels not included among the list of created being. Well, they are “there,” you just need to know where to look.

I think this is a perfect date-night post, so make some popcorn and break out the Snuggie.
