How might premodern exegesis of Genesis inform Christian debates
about creation today? Imagine a table with three people in
dialogue: a young-earth creationist, an old-earth creationist, and
an evolutionary creationist. Into the room walks Augustine of
Hippo, one of the most significant theologians in the history of
the church. In what ways will his reading of Scripture and his
doctrine of creation inform, deepen, and shape the conversation?
Pastor and theologian Gavin Ortlund explores just such a scenario
by retrieving Augustine's reading of Genesis 1-3 and considering
how his premodern understanding of creation can help Christians
today. Ortlund contends that while Augustine's hermeneutical
approach and theological questions might differ from those of
today, this church father's humility before Scripture and his
theological conclusions can shed light on matters such as
evolution, animal death, and the historical Adam and Eve. Have a
seat. Join the conversation.
