Old-Earth Creationism On Trial - Dr Jason Lisle torrent

As the modern Church struggles to find a place of relevancy for a new generation that already has massive demands on its time and attention, more and more young people raised in the Church are leaving it – failing to find the answers to their questions of faith and life, beset with doubts raised by issues that the Church chooses not to address. Opting to skirt the controversy of Genesis as literal history, the biblical authority of the Holy Word is called into question and reduced to a collection of mere stories. More popularly considered an issue for schools or in the public realm, the conflicting views on the age of the earth also remain a pivotal issue within the Church – as it has for over two centuries.

In the book you will discover:
-How the Bible is used by both young-earth and old-earth creationists to support their position
-How exegesis vs. eisegesis views of the Bible impact your faith
-The church’s changing interpretation of Scripture
-Why this is a critical issue to the church, its survival, and its relevance in today’s world
-Was the Creation week literally six days
-Does science really point to an old earth
-Does the issue really matter for Christians
-Should this issue even be discussed within the Church

Join authors Dr. Jason Lisle and Tim Chaffey as they put forth a case against an old-earth interpretation of Scripture. A comprehensive biblical, theological, and scientific critique of old-earth creationism, the book presents its compelling testimony in layman’s terms to create a powerful debate that leads to unquestionable truth.
