Genesis One As Ancient Cosmology

It’s time for another Logos Lecture Series event. This one features Dr. John Walton of Wheaton College, who will be speaking on “Genesis One As Ancient Cosmology.” If you’re in the area, join us at 7:00 PM on Monday, June 23, at the Mount Baker Theatre here in Bellingham, Washington.

About the Lecture

Dr. Walton will be discussing the controversy that rages between secular science and people of biblical faith concerning the origins of the cosmos. Whether the biblical account in Genesis 1 is being defended or questioned, it has often been treated as if it could or should be adapted to modern scientific terms as an account of material origins. In this lecture Dr. Walton will argue that reading Genesis 1 as an ancient text resolves the presumed problems that are the focus of modern controversy.
