Want some help talking about creation and Genesis 1 to your Chinese friends?
This is one of the most important books I know on the subject. Right now (through Feb 24), the Kindle version is on sale for only $2.99.
The Lost World of Genesis One, by John Walton, is a different sort of book on the subject. I’m not a big fan of the conversation about creationism, evolution, etc. because it tends to be a bigger distraction than a help for people. Ultimately, the issue comes down to one’s exegesis, not science.
That’s why I like this book. Walton is a biblical theologian. He engages the text at the level of exegesis and leave out so much of the speculative discussion that plagues much apologetic literature.
If you’d be interested in seeing one of his talks on YouTube, you has a series of talks called “Genesis through Ancient Eyes.”
I suspect I’ll hit on this topic before long on the blog. We’ll see.
For now, here are a few questions.
1. What kind of discussions have you had with Chinese people on this subject?
2. If I were to do a blog series, what kind of questions would you be interested in talking about?
