Genesis, Creation And Early Man by Seraphim Rose

The Orthodox Christian Vision

An Orthodox Christian exploration of the opening chapters of Genesis, this work presents a patristic, traditional reading of creation and early human history while critiquing evolutionism and modern biblical criticism. Drawing on the Holy Fathers, it discusses creation ex nihilo, the six days, paradise, the fall, the flood, and Babel, emphasizing the theological and spiritual stakes of how Genesis is interpreted. The volume weaves together lectures, essays, letters, and translations to offer a comprehensive defense of a literal-ascetical understanding within the Church’s tradition.
