Creation and Biblical Authority

Book Cover & Preview Text
From the Introduction: "What we believe about origins afects our whole philosophy of life. It also affects what we believe about our personal future destiny as well as that of the present world and universe. Everything in the material physical universe had a beginning. At a certain point in time we came into existence as unique individuals and the time clock of life started ticking for us...What a tremendous blessing it is then to be a Christian in relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and to have the assurance that as individuals created by a transcendent God we are not without purpose either in this life or in the future eternal kingdom. Christians who accept the Bible record at face value believe in an original creation by a Creator God--the only true God."
