A Theological and Scientific Reconciliation
by Andrew Woodruff
What if everything you’ve been taught about the beginning is wrong?
For centuries, a false dichotomy has forced a choice between faith and science: either believe the Bible’s creation account and reject an ancient Earth, or accept the scientific evidence and dismiss Genesis as myth. This intellectual stalemate has crippled the church’s witness and alienated seekers.
But what if there is a third way? A groundbreaking synthesis that reconciles the authority of Scripture with the undeniable facts of nature?
In Before Adam: Giants, Genesis, and the Lost World of Prehistoric Man, a bold new work of theological scholarship, the ancient Gap Theory is resurrected and rigorously defended. This book presents a compelling case that the opening verses of Genesis hold the key to a forgotten epoch—a primordial creation that spanned billions of years.
You will discover:
A revolutionary interpretation of Genesis 1:1-2: Explore the powerful exegetical evidence that the Earth “became” formless and void, pointing to a cataclysmic judgment on a pre-Adamic world.
The identity of the Serpent and the "Sons of God": Uncover a biblical explanation for the cunning intelligence of the tempter in Eden and the mysterious giants of old, the Nephilim.
Where Cain found his wife: Solve one of the Bible’s most enduring puzzles with a solution that is both biblically sound and anthropologically plausible.
The harmony of science and Scripture: See how the fossil record, cosmology, and human DNA are not threats to faith, but rather the biography of a creation that is far older and more complex than traditionally imagined.
Meticulously researched and written in a clear, scholarly tone, Before Adam challenges the dogmas of both secular materialism and young-earth creationism. It argues that the true conflict is not between the Bible and science, but between a limited interpretation and the vast, glorious reality of God’s creative work.
This is not just another book on creation. It is a paradigm shift. Prepare to have your understanding of Genesis, the origin of evil, and the history of our world completely transformed.
Ideal for readers of: John Walton, Hugh Ross, C.S. Lewis, and anyone seeking a robust, intellectually satisfying faith.
