BST: The Message of Genesis 1-11

The Dawn of Creation.

This inspiring exposition goes back to the beginning. The early chapters of
Genesis proclaim the origin of the world, and of human life on earth. Atkinson
applies what he finds here to the issues that face us at the beginning of a new
millennium. The first eleven chapters of Genesis, he argues, are an overture to
the rest of the Bible. They evoke wonder as God is portrayed in his creative
power and beauty. They reveal his loving mercy and salvation even in his
terrible judgment of those who turn from him and despoil the harmony of
creation.

Atkinson vividly presents the magnificent cosmic setting of the early story of
mankind. Here is the insight that allows us to understand both the greatness
and the tragic flaw inherent in human beings today. Here is the key to our
history. We are responsible participants in God's creation who must, like Noah,
confront the possibility of global catastrophe. (= 9780830812295)
