    Product Description

    Subtitle: Orthodox Christian Reflections on the Book of Genesis The Book of Genesis is foundational reading for the Christian, concerned as it is with the origins of our race and the beginnings of salvation history. Its opening pages provide the theological suppositions of the entire biblical story: Creation, especially that of man in God's image, the structure of time, man's relationship to God, the entrance of sin into the world, and God's selection of a specific line of revelation that will give structure to history. Early Christian writers such as St. Paul saw no dichotomy between the writings of the Law, of which Genesis is the beginning, and the Gospel. Rather, the Gospel is the key to understanding the Law. In "Creation and the Patriarchal Histories," Fr. Reardon shows clearly how the proper understanding of Creation and the Fall informs all of Christian doctrine, and how the narratives of the patriarchs from Noah to Joseph pave the way for the salvation history that continues in Exodus.

    Creation and the Patriarchal Histories

    Reardon adds this to his growing list of commentaries (Job, Chronicles, Psalms) and his collection on scriptural saints. In a brief compass – 156 pages – he gives us an immense amount of food for thought, not a word for word, line by line analysis of the text. It is also not an apologia for the Orthodox approach to this particular book and the Bible as a whole. The contemporary reference of this book is of course, that it has to address topics such as evolution, ‘Dawkins’ and allied critics, ‘Science and religion,’ and so on. Its contribution on all these is refreshing and original.
