{"product_id":"9780830852918","title":"Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins - Cosmology, Geology, and Biology in Christian Perspective","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe question of origins remains a stumbling block for many. But just as the Psalmist gained insight into God's character through the observation of nature, modern scientific study can deepen and enrich our vision of the Creator and our place in his creation. In this often contentious field Bishop, Funck, Lewis, Moshier, and Walton serve as our able guides. \n\u003cbr\u003eBased on over two decades of teaching origins together in the classroom, the authors present a textbook exploring mainstream scientific theories of origins in astronomy, cosmology, chemistry, geology, biology, physical anthropology, and genetics. While many authors engage origins from a Christian perspective, this is the first work offering a full-fledged discussion of the scientific narrative of origins from the Big Bang through humankind, from biblical and theological perspectives accessible to a lay audience. \n\u003cbr\u003eTopics include\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrinciples of biblical interpretation\n\u003cbr\u003eClose readings of relevant Genesis texts\n\u003cbr\u003eA comprehensive Trinitarian doctrine of creation\n\u003cbr\u003eCosmic origins\n\u003cbr\u003eThe geologic history of Earth\n\u003cbr\u003eThe origin of life on Earth\n\u003cbr\u003eThe origin of species and diversity of life\n\u003cbr\u003eHuman origins\n\u003cbr\u003eNew creation and creation care\n\u003cbr\u003eScience education\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than the familiar scenario where science and faith compete, this book seeks to diffuse tensions by taking the inspiration and authority of the Bible seriously while respecting and honoring God's revelation through creation. Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins gives the reader a detailed picture of the sciences of origins along with how they fit into the story of God's creative and redemptive action.\n\u003cbr\u003eBioLogos Books on Science and Christianity invite us to see the harmony between the sciences and biblical faith on issues including cosmology, biology, paleontology, evolution, human origins, the environment, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IVP Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48691273367787,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":192.25,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780830852918-1.jpg?v=1781643562","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780830852918","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
