Dr. Schaeffer explodes the origin of the universe, life, and man. He writes as one in battle, understanding that many view the scriptures as myths which cast light on the mind of ancient Hebrews. He shows how the first eleven Chapters of Genesis provide solid space-time answers to how we got here.

Schaeffer treats Genesis as the most important. Shows man in cosmic setting and his "peculiar uniqueness". Explores "metaphysics", morals and epistemology in the light of the work of Christ.

A great book on the beginning of the Bible, and of human history. Schaeffer offers great insight into the makeup of the Bible and how it applies to us today. His thoughts on interpretation and exegesis were very thought provoking. This book made me turn to my Bible for my reading, which is always a sign of a good book. ( )

I wish some of those depressed authors from the 20's and 30's could have read and believed this. The main idea being, that if man doesn't know where he has come from or where he is heading, he cannot know himself. It is our denial of who we are, creatures created by God and separated from Him by sin, that makes it impossible for us to solve our problems. ( )

Book description
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0877846367, Paperback)

Genesis is a book of origins--the origin of the universe, the origin of life and the origin of man. It places man in his cosmic setting, shows his particular uniquness, explains his wonder and his flaw, and begins to trace the flow of human history through space and time.

Many today, however, view this book as a collection of myths, useful for understanding the Hebrew mind, perhaps, but certainly not a record of what really happened. Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer challenges that view and shows how the first eleven chapters of Genesis stand as a solid, space-time basis for answering the tough questions posed by modern man.
