1. 1. The Lost World Of Adam And Eve

   Genesis 2-3 and the Human Origins Debate

   

   This book reads the Genesis creation narratives through the lens of ancient Near Eastern thought, arguing that their purpose is to describe the ordering and function of the world and humanity rather than to provide a scientific or biological account of origins; the figures of Adam and Eve are presented as archetypal, functional representatives who are appointed to roles in God’s ordered world, a reading that reframes theological questions about sin, human identity, and the relationship between Scripture and modern science and opens the possibility of compatibility with evolutionary accounts of biological development.

2. 2. The Lost World Of Genesis One

   Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate

   

   This work argues that the opening chapter of Genesis should be read in its ancient Near Eastern context as a description of God assigning functions and purposes to the cosmos—not as a scientific account of material origins. It proposes a “functional ontology” and a cosmic-temple motif in which the six divine days inaugurate order, roles, and systems, emphasizing theological and priestly concerns about God’s sovereignty and the establishment of cosmic order; understood this way, the passage addresses meaning and function rather than modern empirical questions, which reframes contemporary debates about creation and science.
