  Additional Info
  The question of origins remains a stumbling block for many. But just as the Psalmist gained insight into God’s character through the observation of nature, modern scientific study can deepen and enrich our vision of the Creator and our place in his creation. In this often contentious field Bishop, Funck, Lewis, Moshier, and Walton serve as our able guides.

  Based on over two decades of teaching origins together in the classroom, the authors present a textbook exploring mainstream scientific theories of origins in astronomy, cosmology, chemistry, geology, biology, physical anthropology, and genetics. While many authors engage origins from a Christian perspective, this is the first work offering a full-fledged discussion of the scientific narrative of origins, from the Big Bang through humankind, accessible to a lay audience in biblical and theological perspective.

  Topics include

  Principles of biblical interpretation
  Close readings of relevant Genesis texts
  A comprehensive Trinitarian doctrine of creation
  Cosmic origins
  The geologic history of Earth
  The origin of life on Earth
  The origin of species and diversity of life
  Human origins
  New creation and creation care
  Science education

  Rather than the familiar scenario where science and faith compete, this book seeks to diffuse tensions by taking the inspiration and authority of the Bible seriously while respecting and honoring God’s revelation through creation. Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins gives the reader a detailed picture of the sciences of origins along with how they fit into the story of God’s creative and redemptive action.

  Additional Info
  Sometimes its hard to see the wood for the trees. Running through the many gripping and memorable stories the Bible contains is one big story of Gods plan for the world he made, and how he brought it about through Jesus Christ.

  Packed with diagrams, illustrations and timelines, this accessible Bible overview unlocks the storyline of the whole Bible how God promised and then brought about the plan to save our fallen world. But this is no book of arid theological ideas. It is a story that will encourage effective, active Christian living in today’s world.

  Looking at God’s covenantal promises with Abraham, Moses and David, Tim Chester presents the ‘big picture’ of the Bible and helps Christians understand the part in relation to the whole. From Creation to New Creation traces different elements of the promise and introduces:

  A people: God’s promise to save a people who will be His people
  A land: God’s promise to provide a place of blessing
  A king: God’s promise to re-establish his rule of freedom and peace
  The nations: God’s promise to bring his salvation to all the peoples of the world
