"""Get Genesis right and you will be well on your way to a solid understanding of the Word of God."" --Vance Pitman, Senior Pastor, Hope Church, Las Vegas, NV R. David Skinner presents a captivating, verse-by-verse commentary on Genesis 1-11 using a literal interpretation of Scripture with analyses of evolutionary thought. Genesis contains the record of God's creation and the beginning of civilization on earth. If one misses the foundational truths found in Genesis, other important biblical truths become more difficult to understand. In all ways, Genesis is foundational. Not surprisingly, Genesis and the Creation account have become the preeminent battleground for skeptics. Skinner's commentary is an essential resource for students, pastors, Bible teachers, and all believers who want to share boldly and defend their faith. Studies in Genesis 1-11 Addresses These Foundational Issues (and more): How old is the earth? How long were the Creation days? How could the entire earth be covered by water? What about prehistoric ages, including Neanderthals/cave men? Can one believe in evolution and in the literal Genesis account of Creation? Where does the theory of evolution fit into the origin of the universe and of man? ABOUT THE AUTHOR: R. David Skinner, PhD, was born and raised in Lexington, MS. The youngest of seven children, he first served in the United States Air Force before sensing a call to ministry. Dr. Skinner pastored for many years before he joined the faculty of Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary as one of its earliest faculty members. Beloved by his students, he served as a professor in three academic departments and retired after serving as the academic vice president of the entire institution. ABOUT THE EDITOR: Michael R. Spradlin, PhD, is the author of The Sons of the 43rd and numerous scholarly articles on church history, missions, and evangelism. He most recently edited and revised Beaman's Commentary on the Gospel of John. Dr. Spradlin has served over twenty years as the president of Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary.
