Principles and methods of Biblical interpretation -- A comprehensive doctrine of creation and implications for scientific study -- Knowledge and faith in pursuing origins questions -- Creation through the lenses of science and theology Cosmic origins: Genesis 1:1-2:4 -- Electromagnetic radiation and the scale of the universe -- The expanding universe -- The Big Bang model and contemporary cosmology -- Lives and death stars and fine-tuning -- Biblical and theological perspectives on the origins of the universe Origin of the earth and solar system -- Historical roots of geology: Catastrophism and uniformitarianism -- The Genesis flood -- The rock cycle and timescales of geologic processes -- Rock of ages: Measuring geologic time -- Plate tectonics: A theory for how the earth works -- Reading earth's history in rocks and fossils -- Biblical and theological perspectives on earth history From spontaneous generation to abiogenesis -- Prebiotic chemistry: preparing the primordial soup -- Biological information: Proteins and Nucleic acids -- Alternative scenarios for life's origin -- Biblical and theological perspectives on the origin of life Development of the theory of evolution -- The modern synthesis of evolution -- Exploring the evidence about evolution: Phylogeny and fossils -- Development of an extended synthesis of evolution -- Biblical and theological perspectives on the origin of the diversity of life Human origins: Genesis 2-3 -- Human origins: Evidence from physical anthropology -- Human origins: Genomic evidence -- Biblical and theological perspectives on the image of God
From five authors with over two decades of experience teaching origins together in the classroom, this is the first textbook to offer a full-fledged discussion of the scientific narrative of origins starting with the Big Bang through humankind, from biblical and theological perspectives. This work gives the reader a detailed picture of mainstream scientific theories of origins along with how they fit into the story of God's creative and redemptive action.
