For years, the evangelical church and its members have debated
whether the Bible should be interpreted literally or symbolically
in regards to the age of the earth. In their groundbreaking new
book, "In the Beginning . . . We Misunderstood," authors Johnny V.
Miller and John M. Soden say that all these arguments have missed
the point. Rather, what Christians really need to know is how to
interpret the Bible in its original context.
Exposing the fallacies of trying to make the biblical text fit a
specific scientific presupposition, Miller and Soden offer a new
approach to interpreting Genesis 1 that explores the creation
account based on how the original audience would have understood
its teaching. First, the authors present a clear explanation of the
past and present issues in interpreting the first chapter of the
Bible. Second, Miller and Soden break down the creation account
according to its historical and cultural context by comparing and
distinguishing both the Egyptian and Mesopotamian settings.
Finally, they explore common objections to help readers understand
the significance that the creation account has for theology
today.
Christians need not look any further than Genesis 1 to find
clues to its meaning. Both irenic and bathed in Scripture, "In the
Beginning . . . We Misunderstood" will equip every believer to
navigate the creation wars, armed with biblically sound
explanations.
