As part of the on-going review series of Doctrine, here are my thoughts on this particular chapter: Creation: God Makes.
Way back when I was studying all this in seminary, I did a blog series on Genesis. It’s very detailed, and as you can see, I didn’t get past chapter 2:
- Thoughts on Genesis
- Genesis: Backgrounds (A)
- Genesis: Backgrounds (B)
- Genesis 1: Introduction
- Genesis 1: Structure
- Genesis 1: Days 1-3
- Genesis 1: Days 4-6
- Genesis 1: Concluding Thoughts
- Genesis 2: Introduction
In the intervening time, I’ve also put together several posts on issues related to science:
- A Few Thoughts on Logic
- The Atheist’s Bible
- Stewarding the Environment at SeaWorld
- 3 Lessons I Learned Being A Science Teacher
- The Most Uncomfortable Argument Against Common Ancestry
- Why You (Usually) Can’t Persuade Someone They’re Wrong
And here are several relevant book reviews:
- Genesis And Christian Theology
- A Shot of Faith To The Head: Be A Confident Believer In the Age of Cranky Atheists
- A Concise Review of The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins
- Redeeming Science: A God-Centered Approach
If you’re interested in digging in deeper to the doctrine of creation from a philosophical perspective, well this series my friend is for you:
- Philosophy 101
