Faithfully expounds the text of Genesis 1-11, avoiding the twin pitfalls of anachronism (finding answers to questions that were never addressed by the Genesis author) and secularism (ruling Genesis out of court for teaching antiquated nonsense).

While acknowledging the agendas of modern readers (the nature of the flood, questions about dinosaurs, the age of Methuselah, the length of a creation “day,” evolution, and so on), remains on track in expounding on the ancient agenda (which is the true god; the purpose of human

life; what is success, and what to think when our crops fail; what to think of the religions of Canaan, Egypt, or Babylon; how to live faithfully…)

Lays the bold proclamations of Genesis beside the lame assertions of ancient religion—greatly increasing our appreciation of Scripture.

Provides biblical solutions to the many “problem passages” of Genesis 1-11.

Addresses the doubts and removes the excuses of those who find stumbling blocks in early Genesis.

Doesn’t dodge the tough questions.

Abundant chapter endnotes for those who want to go deeper. [currently > 240]

Just as Genesis 1-11 was “outside-the-box” in its time, Origins leaves the safety of traditional interpretation to get behind the text.
