商品簡介
Fischer is the founder of Genesis Proclaimed "a ministry dedicated to finding harmony in the Bible, science and history." In this examination of the book of Genesis, he tries to find a middle ground between those who believe that the King James Bible is the absolute truth and those who think that Genesis is only one of many creation myths. Using archaeological evidence from Mesopotamia and the accounts of later authors, he pieces together a possible scenario that includes the Garden of Eden, Noah's flood and many other events and people from the Bible. While he asks the reader to cast away his prejudices before starting the book, Fischer is still left with his own. He strains too hard to find evidence to support biblical passages without considering other possibilities. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
