We wanted to pass along from our partners at Seminary Now a preview of John Walton’s course on The Lost World of Genesis One. Also, for a limited time, Seminary Now is offering up to a 50 percent discount on their courses! Consider signing up for this course or another as something to do over semester break!
In his Seminary Now course based on the book The Lost World of Genesis One (InterVarsity Press), Bible scholar John Walton argues that Genesis was never intended to answer modern scientific questions about origins. Dr. Walton presents a literary and theological understanding of Genesis 1 within the context of the ancient Near Eastern world and unpacks its implications for modern science. Walton’s thoughtful analysis unpacks seldom appreciated aspects of the biblical text and sets Bible-believing scientists free to investigate the question of origins.

The Emerging Scholars Network is always seeking opportunities to identify, encourage, and equip the next generation of Christian scholars to be a redeeming influence in the academy, church, and the world. As you have an announcement, a “call for papers”, an event, a prayer request (e.g., campus, field, higher ed), a resource suggestion, a review, etc., which is in concord with our Kingdom of God endeavor, please send materials (marketing/sales material not accepted) for consideration to post via email or the ESN Writer Survey.
