Duration of Webinar:  2 hours

Speaker:  John Walton  (Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Wheaton College and Graduate School)

Description of Presentation:

This lecture will delve into biblical hermeneutics, particularly with regard to the ancient Near Eastern context of the Genesis account. It will discuss how Genesis functions primarily as a theological text revealing who God is as Creator and why He created, rather than a scientific manual detailing how. The question of what constitutes a “literal” interpretation will be discussed and a reading that features a contextually literal interpretation will be presented. A case will also be made that evolutionary creation (i.e. theistic evolution) is compatible with the biblical text.
