The global issues of our day - whether economic, social, political, religious , health, environmental or others - occur in the context of two competing visions. One vision was established before the beginning of time by God, the Creator of all things. Revelation is his perspective on global issues as recorded in the Bible. Faith is the response he seeks from humankind. The Kingdom is his overall plan that begins from these central features and extends to all of life. The other vision was established at the beginning of time and has diversified wildly in multiple ways ever since. It always has people at the center, depends on their unique world views or interpretations of the world, becomes evident in their religious myths, beliefs, values, symbols, themes and rituals, and results in competing human plans called cultures. Global issues cannot avoid these conflicts. The Bible's book of Genesis, Chapters 1-3, describes the origin of these conflicts. Genesis Chapters 1-2 are about God's Kingdom plan in which his LIFE plays the central part. Genesis Chapter 3 is about the first cultural plan as Adam and Eve place their life at the center of their world, their viewpoint determinative with their preferred religious solutions, and the first cultural plan the result. The replacement of God's Kingdom Plan with their cultural plan had consequences far beyond their expectations and control. They faced "global issues" - the way we do today when we operate by human plans with no regard for God's eternal plan. Cultural plans continue with their focus on human life. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was all about cultural plans. The tree still thrives today. It nurtures many dreams. Genesis Chapter 3 ends with hope, however, because God protects "the way to the Tree of LIFE" that nurtures his divine dream. God's plan from before the beginning of time continues to focus upon the place of his LIFE at the center of human life responding in faith. Human plans can leave God out but God's plan will never leave humans out. We need to face global issues with this understanding. The book's chapters walk us through Genesis 1-3: The Other Side of Our Beginning God's Kingdom Before the Beginning Discovering Our Destiny in Genesis 1-2 The Kingdom and the Tree of LIFE Cultures and the Tree of Knowledge Ensnared in Cultural Personalities The Limits of Our Cultural Efforts The Enduring Kingdom Plan of God Written by a qualified and experienced Christian anthropologist, the book provides a foundational way to look at the global issues of our day. It is designed to provide fresh perspectives, provoke thought, generate hope, and suggest creative solutions. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter contribute to these provisions. The book is a taste not a full meal, however. It is a beginning not the whole course. Two subsequent volumes flesh out this series on "Kingdom Perspectives on Global Issues" a seen in the opening Chapters of Genesis.

Millennia have passed since Adam, Enoch, and Noah lived on the Earth, and with all the niceties of modern life, it can be hard for us to think of these Genesis patriarchs as more than just names on a page. But modern revelation has also offered us a more illuminating picture of their lives than has ever been available before. They Walked With God pairs ancient scriptural accounts with these modern revelations to present an intimate biography of nine Genesis patriarchs. Best-selling author Duane S. Crowther offers hundreds of historical, biographical, and cultural details to teach you about these men and the doctrines they followed in a clear, easy-to-follow format that will enrich your study of the entire Old Testament.

As mankind's earliest inspired literary work, the Book of Genesis contains essential answers to the most important questions in life. This includes questions about our relationship with God; whether our ancestors were created or evolved from apes; mankind's spiritual origins; sexuality and marriage; our calling and responsibilities; what is meant by words like sin, faith and salvation; and surprisingly (since Genesis is mostly about origins), how this world will end.Unfortunately, Genesis is one of the least understood books of the Bible. While preoccupying ourselves with bland, literal, pseudoscientific interpretations, we've ignored the symbols, metaphors, and allegories in Genesis. In fact, the Book of Genesis is filled to overflowing with poetry and hidden meanings.The poetry of Genesis not only foretells the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, but also hints at the destiny of the Church and the Kingdom of God. As this book explains, Genesis provides definitive answers to our questions about: The age of the Universe The meaning of creation and the creation days Adam and Eve's time and place in history The extent of Noah's flood The Old-New Covenant transition God's glorious plans for this worldReturn to Genesis doesn't stop with Genesis, but presents a complete program for victory by explaining how we as Christians can: Strengthen our marriages and families Each do our part to fulfill Jesus' prayer for Church unity Reject literalism and rediscover the Bible's lost literary treasures Identify the people of God and understand Satan's strategies Adopt a more biblical, sane, and optimistic view of the End Times Restore and preserve freedom in America and throughout the world

This book, based on exegetical theology, intends to present a unique, theologically sound interpretation of each of the seven days of Creation, which will in turn lead to a much greater in-depth understanding of the Holy Scriptures an understanding that will provide a refreshing wind to the churches. The book will engage readers in spiritual archaeological digging, showing how the first five days of Creation relate to the design and plan for the kingdom of heaven, how the sixth day refers to the implementation of the kingdom, and how the seventh day reveals the handing of the kingdom to the Father. This concept is the unveiling of a mystery that has been either hidden or lost since the Scriptures were written. Knowing this vital information, the reader can embrace a depth to the Creation story that will impact his or her understanding of God and the future He has planned for His creation.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is always situated within a particular cultural context: but how should Christians approach the complex relationship between their faith and the surrounding culture? Should we simply retreat from culture? Should we embrace our cultural practices and mindset? How important is it for us to be engaged with our culture and mindset? How might we do that with discernment and faithfulness? William Edgar offers a biblical theology in the light of our contemporary culture that contends that Christians should -- and indeed, must -- engage with the surrounding culture. By exploring what Scripture has to say about the role of culture and gleaning insights from a variety of theologians -- including Abraham Kuyper, T. S. Eliot, H. Richard Niebuhr and C. S. Lewis -- Edgar contends that cultural engagement is a fundamental aspect of human existence. He does not shy away from those passages that emphasize the distinction between Christians and the world. Yet he finds, shining through the biblical witness, evidence that supports a robust defence of the cultural mandate to 'be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it' (Genesis 1:28). With clarity and wisdom, Edgar argues that we are most faithful to our calling as God's creatures when we participate in creating culture.

As intimated by the subtitle, 'Genesis Foundations for a Covenantal Worldview', the immediate literary focus of this study is the book of Genesis and its account of the formative ages in the eschatological movement of the kingdom of God from creation to consummation. As also indicated by the subtitle, our biblical-theological commentary on Genesis is designed to uncover the foundations of God's covenantally administered kingdom with its major historical developments and its institutional structures and functions. In this way 'Kingdom Prologue' seeks to provide an introductory sketch of the overall shape of the biblical worldview and the character of biblical religion.

In an age of unsurpassed globalization, Melba Maggay reminds us of the beauty of unique cultures no matter how small their imprint on the world may seem. Yet these cultures do not exist in isolation, but have a complex interrelation with one another, be they monoliths such as western capitalism or subsistence communities like El Nido on the island of Palawan, the home of the author’s ancestors. This rich global tapestry is a gift from God, yet not without imperfection, sin or hardship. It is these realities to which we must apply the gospel in our own lives and in missiology. This book gives a prophetic call to proclaim the good news and do justice in and towards every culture under the sun, while demystifying some of the major narratives that inform worldviews across the globe today. And it is the kingdom of God for every tribe, tongue, people and nation that brings true global unity.

The time was the Bronze to the Iron Age, the third to first millenniums B.C. Great leaders arose from Iraq to Eygpt-- Sargon of Akkad, Gudea of Lagash, Hammurapi of Babylon, and Akhenaten of Egypt--and from these lands of the Fertile Crescent came the underpinnings of Western civilization: law, science, arts, and the alphabet. But the human spirit wanted more. In a universe run by mercurial gods who kept humankind in bondage, there emerged the need for one all-powerful divinity, one omnipresent as mentor and protector. The book of Genesis, with its narratives of real people struggling to survive, provided that God, and thus the roots of monotheism. Genesis: World of Myths and Patriarchs is an in-depth look at the civilizations that formed the background of the first book of the Bible. Drawing on the great archaeological discoveries in the Middle East over the past century, everyday life of the people of Genesis is viewed through their politics, arts, nomadic migrations, commerce, religion, and moral values. With over 250 illustrations, including sixty-four color plates, this rich visual panorama describes what the authors of Genesis saw, and what events and ideas moved them to write the story of their people's origins. The book includes fourteen maps and charts, a selected chronology, and a list of gods of the Middle East. Cyrus Gordon and Nahum Sarna, two of the most renowned scholars of ancient Near Eastern history and Bible, provide the text. Genesis: World of Myths and Patriarchs acquaints us for the first time with the people we know from this familiar book of the Bible, and with the places they inhabited and the culture they developed. We trace what was borrowed, rejected, and transformed to create a new and unique ethic which has continued to shape the world.
