In this great in-depth study of Noah's Ark learn about how all cultures have a flood story in their history, and if all the flood stories are the same. Also learn the facts and myths about the possible remains of Noah's Art on Mt. Ararat. Also included is an interview with veteran ark hunter, Bob Cornuke.
The teachings that come out of an exposition of Genesis 6-9 are foundational to understanding much of redemptive history in the rest of the Bible. Righteous Noah becomes a type of Christ through whom God makes a covenant of redemption. By faith he built an ark, condemning the world and having victory over it. The day of the Flood is a prototype of the day of the coming of the Lord, with a separation of the righteous and the wicked. God's giving of the covenant sign of the rainbow gives us assurance and comfort of a staying of his judgment while he patiently waits for our repentance before the final judgment. So out of a holocaust God provides hope. The exposition responds to higher criticism, reveals the test's literary structure, compares various viewpoints, provides historical and scientific evidences, and illustrates with contemporary examples. Numerous controversial topics are addressed, such as who were the "sons of God" that married "daughters of men," God's grief, the extent of the Flood, eating meat, capital punishment, population growth, and the curse on Canaan. Personal application is made throughout. Each chapter closes with discussion questions for group study.
Noah built his ark in the sunshine; in other words, he prepared in advance for the storm that was to come. He didn't wait until the last minute. He used those bright days in the sunshine to get himself ready, to build up the resources he would need when the dark floodwaters came. The great people of faith have always been like that. But the question is, how do we get there? How do we reach that level of spiritual maturity? How do we get to the place where we can praise God whatever comes, and thank God in everything?
That kind of faith and spiritual doesn't just happen overnight. We have to grow it! We have to work at the faith. practice it, express it, study it, share it; and as we do, our gratitude will deepen and our faith will grow. Includes Study Guide. Softcover, 158 pages.
James Jordan reveals the fascinating weave of lives that bind together the heroes and villains of Genesis, as they progressively image and reverse one another in an ascending narrative of action, a narrative all too commonly broken apart or missed. These heroes of the city of God-Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and others-come to flesh and blood in ways that undo our normal assumptions. In stark contrast to the selfish heroism of pagan literature, the heroism of Genesis triumphs by breaking all the standard rules. Jordan inverts so many of the traditional negative judgments against these patriarchs' alleged weakness and "sins" of deception, struggle, and tyranny that they stand forth as heroes rather than scoundrels. And yet this book is not just about the heroes of Genesis. Throughout, Jordan draws a picture of how Christian culture should be imagined and lived in our own day, from creativity and work to tyranny and freedom. You will never be able to read Genesis in the same way again.
