Creation Outside Genesis: The Biblical Testimony

Many texts throughout both the Old and New Testaments speak of God’s creation of the heavens and the earth. Testimony to creation as recorded in Genesis 1:1–2:3 permeates all of Scripture. Denial of the biblical account of creation in Genesis 1:1–2:3 places in question all the teachings of Scripture about God, Christ, and everything connected with His creative work. What are the implications of biblical creationism to other key teachings of the Scriptures? One very key teachings involves the character and nature of the Creator Himself. In the session we will give attention to the relationships between the doctrine of first things (protology) and the doctrine of last things (eschatology).

Our speaker, Dr. Bill Barrick, has been writing in the areas of Bible and theology for forty years. His writings range from adult Sunday school materials, in-house library publications, and newspaper editorials to technical journal articles in English and a commentary on the book of Daniel in Bengali.
