Description
Genesis opens with two creation accounts—the seven-day story, followed by Adam and Eve in Eden. Why Genesis Is Fiction insists both these stories should be taken seriously, which isn’t at all the same as taking them at face value.
Read for all the rich detail the creation stories contain instead of glossed over, it’s clear neither is talking about the events they appear on the surface to be about. What the writers intended has been completely overlooked in the debate between creationists and evolutionists, who fail to take the accounts seriously.
Read seriously, the stories come alive as documents of historical significance that, instead of disagreeing with the findings of archaeology, geology, biology, or astronomy, corroborate known history.
A lot like historical novels written to make a point, both Genesis creation stories served the historical purpose of establishing, then preserving, the Jewish people during two major threats to their existence. Once the creation epics are understood in this historical way, it becomes clear from the stories themselves that they have nothing to do with how the universe got here.
At last freed from literalism, they speak to us in a way that not only accords with the facts of science and history, but that points a way forward in the crisis facing Israel today.
