Book Description
Read the Best Selling Debut Book from an inspirational new author!Does the Bible align with modern scientific theory? Could Genesis be describing evolutionary processes? Discover what ancient Hebrew actually reveals in this fast-paced Biblical commentary!What was the serpent in the Garden of Eden? Was it literally a talking snake?Do the genealogies presented in Genesis contain a hidden Biblical message?Is it possible that the ancient Hebrew in Genesis actually points to a local flood?What about the Nephilim?In 2008, James Dusenbery experienced a miraculous event while serving in Iraq that was so inexplicable he spent the following years examining Christianity in depth. Canon of Reason - Genesis is the product of that research. By examining the ancient Hebrew in which Genesis is written, Canon of Reason exposes the reader to a new world of possibilities and questions the very foundation of modern Biblical interpretations.If Genesis 1 is describing evolution, can there still be a literal Adam and Eve? If sin did not cause the beginning of death and disease, what were the repercussions of the events in the Garden? If Earth is not at the center of the universe, how can it be specially created for humanity? Did God cause an immediate change of human language at the Tower of Babel?Each of these questions, and more, are answered in an in-depth analysis of Genesis, and presented in a way that is easy to understand. James Dusenbery has a way of presenting these complex ideas in a smooth-flowing narrative that anyone can understand. The result of this work is a framework by which Christianity can be defended, and it is entirely grounded in Genesis.After reading Canon of Reason - Genesis, you will never see the world the same way again, and you will find yourself with a new love for the Bible!

Book Description
"I can't imagine a college student—skeptic, doubter, Christian, struggler—who wouldn't benefit from this book." —Kevin DeYoung For many young adults, the college years are an exciting period of selfdiscovery full of new relationships, new independence, and new experiences. Yet college can also be a time of personal testing and intense questioning— especially for Christian students confronted with various challenges to Christianity and the Bible for the first time. Drawing on years of experience as a biblical scholar, Michael Kruger addresses common objections to the Christian faith—the exclusivity of Christianity, Christian intolerance, homosexuality, hell, the problem of evil, science, miracles, and the reliability of the Bible. If you're a student dealing with doubt or wrestling with objections to Christianity from fellow students and professors alike, this book will equip you to engage secular challenges with intellectual honesty, compassion, and confidence—and ultimately graduate college with your faith intact.

Adept in both Old and New Testament studies, F. F. Bruce brings the wisdom of a lifetime of reflection and biblical interpretation to bear in addressing the criteria of canonicity, the canon within the canon, and canonical criticism.

Book Description
Creation in Six Days offers an exegetical, literary, and theological defense of the traditional interpretation of the Genesis account of six-day creation. Jordan's account is primarily designed to answer any approach to the text of Genesis, such as the increasingly popular Framework Hypothesis, that pits the text's literary features against its historical and narrative sense. Beyond his exegetical critique of several prominent positions, Jordan offers a constructive reading of the early parts of Genesis and also seeks to uncover the assumptions which attract people to the Framework Interpretation and similar views. The explanation, he says, lies in the acceptance of many of the questionable assumptions of modern science on the part of most Christians today, coupled with the pervasiveness of a gnostic or nonhistorical attitude toward the Christian faith.

Book Description
Biblical Foundations Book Award The Pentateuch is the foundation for understanding the Old Testament and the Bible as a whole. Yet through the centuries it has been probed and dissected, weighed and examined, its text peeled back for its underlying history, its discourse analyzed and its words weighed. Could there be any stone in Sinai yet unturned? Surprisingly, there is. From a career of study, John Sailhamer sums up his perspective on the Pentateuch by first settling the hermeneutical question of where we should set our attention. Rather than focus on the history behind the text, Sailhamer is convinced that it is the text itself that should be our primary focus. Along the way he demonstrates that this was in fact the focus of many interpreters in the precritical era. Persuaded of the singular vision of the Pentateuch, Sailhamer searches out clues left by the author and the later editor of the Pentateuch that will disclose the meaning of this great work. By paying particular attention to the poetic seams in the text, he rediscovers a message that surprisingly brings us to the threshold of the New Testament gospel.
