Origins turns much of what Christians learned in Sunday School on
its head in a revealing comparison of the Genesis narrative to the
competing pagan narrative of the day. Relatively few Bible readers
are familiar with the world of the ancient Near East, centered in
Mesopotamia and its most prominent city, Babylon. The culture,
literature, religions, geography, etc. of the early biblical period
dramatically influenced what was written and why and without an
understanding of these elements, the purposes, meanings, and
structure of the text are easily misread by modern readers and
reduces the primeval narrative to a collection of Sunday School
stories. Origins, while acknowledging the agendas of modern
readers, remains on track in expounding on the ancient agenda. Paul
Copan and Douglas Jacoby address the doubts of those who find
stumbling blocks in early Genesis, facing the tough questions head
on and providing biblical solution to many of the "problem
passages." Origins surprises and amazes all seekers, new believers,
and veterans of Scripture alike as it devastates the polytheistic,
pagan assumptions and proclaims the true God.
