I’m on TV (sort of)
Here is part of an interview I gave a recently for BioLogos. If I remember correctly, there may be one or more coming. This interview concerns the never dull topic of the historical Adam.
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.
Exodus, the Plagues, and the Cosmic Battle

The point: Israel’s very non-sciecntific notions of the creation of the cosmos are important for Biblical Theology.

Walton Responds to Poythress at BioLogos
John Walton has written a response to Vern Poythress’s review of The Lost World of Genesis One. There are some important hermeneutical and theological issues involved that should be of interest to many. Check it out.
Yahweh, Creation, and the Cosmic Battle
I just posted a brief essay on the comic battle theme in the Old Testament. I hope you have a chance to visit BioLogos and see what we are up to there.
Also, I will be doing some fairly regular posting there, which means that my activity here will be even less than it has been. [...]
