A Visual Walk Through Genesis

New

Seminary-educated news journalist reports on how it all started.

Genesis is the story of Creation: the beginning of life, humanity, and civilization.

It’s a book full of weird and wild stories.

• A talking snake
• God making Eve from Adam’s rib
• Fallen angels and human women making baby giants
• A flood that covers the entire planet
• A 100-year-old man and his 91-year old wife having a baby

Bible experts don’t always know what to make of these stories. But they’ve got their educated guesses.

Stephen M. Miller, a former newspaper journalist with a seminary degree, reports those theories from a wide range of scholars: tradition-minded as well as progressive.

He does it so objectively that readers can’t see his opinions coming through. “That’s often easy for me to do,” Miller says, “because I’m as confused as the next guy.”
