Genesis: Where the Bible is Silent - Paperback
by Howard Shin (Author)
For a believer, God's Word is the ultimate authority, profoundly relevant to the great issues of our day, but that is not to say that the Bible speaks on all matters. Sometimes it does not directly address issues that our societies face today but leaves signposts to provide us with clues, but it doesn't tell us everything we'd like to know. So how should the teachers and preachers respond to the questions that the Bible does not address directly?
When it comes to the book of Genesis, there are matters on which it seems to be absolutely silent. For instance, it is silent on the scientific process of the creation; it does not tell us whether the six days of creation were six 24-hour days or more extended periods; it does not tell why evil (in the form of the serpent) was present in the Garden of Eden; it does not describe who the "sons of God" and "daughters of men" were, and it does not explain why Noah cursed Canaan and not the culprit Ham. Is there any way to fill in the missing details? Dr. Shin attempts to respond to some of the toughest questions about the book of Genesis without interjecting his opinion into the text-a principle that every Christian must adopt-speaking where the Bible speaks and remaining silent where the Bible is silent.Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
