Want some help talking about creation and Genesis 1 to your Chinese friends?<\/em> <\/span><\/h2>\n

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<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Lost World of Genesis One<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, by John Walton, is a different sort of book on the subject. I\u2019m 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\u2019s exegesis<\/em>, not science.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d be interested in seeing one of his talks on YouTube, you has a series of talks called \u201cGenesis through Ancient Eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

I suspect I\u2019ll hit on this topic before long on the blog.\u00a0 We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n

For now, here are a few questions.<\/p>\n

1. What kind of discussions have you had with Chinese people on this subject?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

2. If I were to do a blog series, what kind of questions would you be interested in talking about?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
