Genesis : History, Fiction, or neither? : Three Views on the Bible's earliest chapters

---

Outline: There is little doubt that in recent years the nature of the Genesis narrative has sparked much debate among Christians, Genesis : History, Fiction, or Neither? introduces three prominent interpretive genres and their implications for biblical understanding. Each contributor identifies his position on the genre of Genesis 1-11, addressing why it is appropriate to the text, and contributes examples of its application to three specific passages; the story of the Nephilim (6: 1-4), Noah and the ark (6: 9 - 9:29), and the Tower of Babel (11: 1-9). The contributors and views include:
- James K. Hoffmeier : History and Theology
- Gordon J. Wenham : Proto-History
- Kenton L. Sparks: Ancient Historiography
General editor and Old Testament scholar Charles Halton explains the importance of the study of genre in the introduction and provides a helpful summation in the conclusion. In the reader-friendly Counterpoints format, this book helps readers to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed conclusions in this much-debated topic.
