Please join us for Bible Saturday with Dr. Bruce Waltke on Saturday, May 4. Dr. Waltke is the Emeritus Professor of Old Testament Studies at Regent College and an influential scholar within biblical studies over the last forty years. Dr. Waltke will be teaching on Genesis 1, and addressing the perceived tension between biblical history and scientific theories of origins.Ever since the bones of early armored dinosaur Scelidosaurus were unearthed in 1858 and, about a decade later, Darwin published The Origin of Species, many Christians have experienced a crisis of faith as these and other factors seem to contradict a straight-forward reading of the Genesis creation accounts (Gen 1:1–2:4 and Gen 2:5–25).
Dr. Waltke commented: "It seems fitting that, with the hope of easing the tension between 'science' and the Bible, I address the tension to the best of my ability—we all see through a glass darkly—by reflecting upon the exegesis of Genesis 1:1–3 in the first part of my lecture and on the literary genre of Genesis 1:1–2:4 in the second part. Regent College is an ideal place to address this controversial text, for Regent is a college of deep faith and of a generous, loving spirit."
