John H. Walton on the Ancient Context and Modern Significance of Genesis One In The Lost World of Genesis One, John H. Walton proposes a fresh reading of Genesis that remains faithful to the original context and that preserves and enhances the theological vitality of the text. Walton addresses key areas of controversy among Christians, including the relationship between Genesis and modern science, particularly covering discussions of evolution, Intelligent Design, and creationism. The arguments are made through eighteen propositions, presented succinctly and plainly, designed to be accessible to readers without technical expertise. In this astute mix of cultural critique and biblical studies, these propositions support a literary and theological understanding of Genesis 1 within the context of the ancient Near Eastern world and unpack its implications for our modern scientific understanding of origins. In The Lost World of Genesis One, Walton’s thoughtful analysis unpacks seldom appreciated aspects of the biblical text; provides thought-provoking ideas for thinking about the Bible, theology, faith and science; and gives Bible-believing scientists freedom to investigate the question of origins. Whether you are a student, professor, pastor, or lay reader with an interest in the Intelligent Design and creation-evolution discussions, you’ll find that Walton’s well-reasoned propositions in The Lost World of Genesis One provide valuable insights for modern discussions on creation and origins. About the Series The books in the Lost World Series follow the pattern set by Bible scholar John H. Walton, bringing a fresh, close reading of the Hebrew text and knowledge of ancient Near Eastern literature to an accessible discussion of the biblical topic at hand using a series of logic-based propositions.
