Description
How might premodern exegesis of Genesis inform Christian debates about creation today?Imagine a table with three people in dialogue: a young-earth creationist, an old-earth creationist, and an evolutionary creationist.
Into the room walks Augustine of Hippo, one of the most significant theologians in the history of the church.
In what ways will his reading of Scripture and his doctrine of creation inform, deepen, and shape the conversation?Pastor and theologian Gavin Ortlund explores just such a scenario by retrieving Augustine's reading of Genesis 1-3 and considering how his premodern understanding of creation can help Christians today. Ortlund contends that while Augustine's hermeneutical approach and theological questions might differ from those of today, this church father's humility before Scripture and his theological conclusions can shed light on matters such as evolution, animal death, and the historical Adam and Eve. Have a seat. Join the conversation.
