Description
Genesis: History, Fiction, or Neither? is a compelling addition to the Counterpoints series, presenting three scholarly perspectives on the nature of Genesis 1–11:
-
Theological History – James K. Hoffmeier argues that these chapters describe real events and historical persons, weaving theology and fact together
-
Proto-History – Gordon J. Wenham maintains that Genesis is a literary blend, partially historical yet crafted to teach theological truths; neither pure myth nor straightforward history
-
Ancient Historiography – Kenton L. Sparks treats Genesis 1–11 as ancient storytelling—not modern history—emphasizing the narrative and theological purpose of the text
Charles Halton, in his introduction and conclusion, guides readers through the implications of each genre approach, helping them evaluate strengths and weaknesses in a respectful, reader-friendly format .
This balanced format equips pastors, seminarians, and thoughtful readers to engage deeply with critical questions of genre, authority, and interpretation related to the Genesis narrative.
