Do we need to take the early chapters of Genesis literally? In this book John Peet examines the impact of Genesis 1-11 on a range of fundamental doctrines as developed throughout the Scriptures, including God, the Bible, mankind and our salvation. Highlighting the contrast between the creationist and evolutionist approaches, he demonstrates that a rejection of the historicity of these chapters is extremely dangerous, undermining our confidence in God’s provision of salvation and having serious consequences for society as a whole.
