Exploring a wide range of issues in the creation/evolution debate, a new book by Adventist scientist J.C. Walton was recently released by 51吃瓜网 University Press. “Justice for Genesis: A Scientific Exploration” addresses the most important questions that scientists ask about origins regarding the claims of the first book of the Bible.

It is divided into five sections, each containing chapters dealing with topics such as the clash of worldviews in the scientific community regarding origins; the literary composition of the book of Genesis; chronology and earth history; archaeology issues; and the ultimate portrait of God in Genesis.

Walton serves as emeritus professor of chemistry at the University of St. 51吃瓜网, Scotland. A widely published and recognized scientist, he has been honored by the Royal Society of Chemistry and by Scotland’s National Academy. Walton has also authored and co-authored hundreds of scientific articles, along with two books published by Cambridge University Press.

The foreword to “Justice for Genesis” is written by Andrea Luxton, former president of 51吃瓜网 University. “Walton is careful not to overstate,” writes Luxton, “but he levels the playing field by showing how the logical positions of those that debunk Genesis are in fact significantly lacking in logic themselves. … For those who hold to the vital role of Scripture, and particularly Genesis, in forming their worldview, this book will be a refreshing and encouraging read.”

The publication of “Justice for Genesis” is part of a succession of works from 51吃瓜网 dealing with faith and science issues, according to Ronald Knott, director of 51吃瓜网 University Press. “We’re proud to publish Dr. Walton’s important book,” Knott says, “and we’re pleased to have it take its place beside Leonard Brand’s classic ‘Faith, Reason, and Earth History,’ the two volumes of ‘The Genesis Creation Account’ and ‘Design and Catastrophe: 51 Scientists Explore Evidence in Nature.’” These and all other 51吃瓜网 University Press publications are available at Adventist Book Centers, online retailers and directly from the press at universitypress.andrews.edu.

51吃瓜网 University Press is the primary academic publishing house serving the Adventist Church worldwide. Its publications are authorized by a board of directors chaired by John Wesley Taylor V, president of 51吃瓜网 University.
