This book is a helpful guide to what the first two chapters of Genesis reveal about God’s plan and purpose in creation, and Vaughan Roberts unpacks their message with relevant application to contemporary issues and the gospel.
There are frequent robust assertions that ‘God alone is Creator’. Of the multiple trillions of stars and 35,000 known species of fish he unambiguously declares: ‘God made every one’. The Garden of Eden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil are presented as fact, not myth. Macro-evolution ‘remains a theory which is questioned by many’; ‘much that is presented as fact, not least in the area of origins and evolution, is still only a theory and is disputed even within the scientific community’.
