We should pause momentarily to address one of the most successful attacks on the foundations of the Christian faith in the west. “The Book of Origins,” the book of Genesis, perhaps more than any other informs our worldview. If we do not lay this protological foundation correctly, our whole framework of the gospel story is skewed. Believing the plain reading of the creation account is not a salvation issue as such, but it is a biblical authority issue; and if we are to take God at his Word, we’re required not to read into it our own culturally popular ideologies and theories. His very character is at stake.
