The Gospel of Genesis: Studies in Protology and Eschatology, 2nd ed.

Overview

The Gospel of Genesis: Studies in Protology and Eschatology argues that there is an underlying eschatology in Genesis that foresees the sweep of redemptive history and the end of all things as, after the pattern of the beginning, a new creation. Gage examines the structure of, and literary parallels in, the historical records, identifying five major theological themes with a Genesis 1–7 basis. He traces these themes through Scripture, showing that the Bible’s eschatology is intimately bound up with the protology of the early chapters of Genesis. This second edition includes a new introduction.

The Logos Bible Software edition of The Gospel of Genesis: Studies in Protology and Eschatology is designed to encourage and stimulate your study and understanding of Genesis. Scripture passages link directly to your English translations and original-language texts, and important theological concepts link to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a wealth of other resources in your digital library. In addition, you can perform powerful searches by topic and find what other authors, scholars, and theologians have to say about protology and eschatology.

Top Highlights

“The thesis of this study is that Genesis 1–7 constitutes a paradigm for macrocosmic (world) and microcosmic (Israelite) history, that is, that the history of the prediluvian temple-cosmos is synthetically paralleled in the histories of the postdiluvian temple-cosmos, the first Temple of Israel (from Exodus to exile) and the second Temple of Israel (from second Exodus to second exile).” (Page 12)

“The thesis of this chapter is that in the divine command man is commissioned to reproduce God’s own activity in creation, that is, to subdue and to fill the earth.” (Page 30)

“The flood of Noah was the overthrow of this first great urban enterprise of fallen man.” (Page 54)

“First, man is in the earthly image of God in his person” (Page 32)

“it is the pattern for the wicked to be the city builders, not the righteous.” (Page 54)
