Adam and Eve? Magic trees in the Garden? Was the world created in six days? Is evolution found in the Bible? Are science and the Bible at war with each other? What's it all about? The significance of early Genesis - and how we read its narratives and their relevance for today - is currently generating a lot of questions. Discoveries from various disciplines about ourselves and the wider world are prompting an urgent need for credible methods of interpretation and ways of understanding that can engage in challenging interdisciplinary discussions. Recognizing this need motivated scientist George Diepstra and theologian Gregory Laughery to rethink common assumptions about the nature of Genesis 1-3. What kind of text is this? In a provocative and creative manner, Laughery and Diepstra take both the biblical and scientific informers seriously, arguing for the necessity of a dialogue between them and the worlds they represent. With this innovative, rather than reactionary approach, From Evolution to Eden is dedicated to exploring where this journey might lead us.
Autorenporträt
Gregory J. Laughery (D.Th., University of Fribourg, Suisse) lives and writes in Switzerland. This book is the next exciting step of the journey from time, narrative, and memory, to imagination. Living Imagination. Who Am I & What is Real? is the culmination of several years of reflection on Imagination and how it has been perceived by philosophers, poets, and theologians. Laughery shows that many, especially Christians, have viewed imagination negatively. His book critiques this inadequate 'picture' and replaces it with a much more positive orientation. He writes: "When we lose the ability to understand that centaurs and dragons are more real than technology and mechanisms, we're in deep trouble. Impoverished imaginations destroy faith and meaning, whereas living imaginations promote them."
