Reading Genesis 1: Theological and Missional Reflections
I am teaching Introduction to the Old Testament this semester at Asbury Theological Seminary. During class conversation, the issue of creation and evolution came up. This is a difficult minefield through which to navigate in evangelical circles. I am more and more convinced however that this debate has negated the message of Genesis 1 in our communities of faith today.
Toward this end, I am posting links to several essays that I have penned on various aspects of Genesis 1. I do this in the hopes of recovering these critical texts for our generation.

Genesis 1: The Genesis of Mission
