From the dust jacket:
"Let's start at
the very beginning! A very good place to start." That's what Maria told
the VonTrapp children when she wanted to teach them to sing. It's good advice in the
study of the
Bible, too.
Our lectureship this year draws its
theme from the book of Genesis.
The message of Genesis is highly relevant to the conditions we are facing today. The implication of creation is ' evident. If man has been created in the image of
God, he is responsible to God and must in every way and in every relationship
bring his life into harmony with the will of God.
Concerns about the
nature of man, society, the role of government, capital punishment, the
environment, gender differences, and the home are just a few of the current
issues addressed in Genesis and developed by the speakers on this lectureship.
Speakers from across
the nation have worked on the topics selected by our Biblical Studies faculty to
make this series of lectures educational and practical. They demonstrate not
only a
knowledge of the scriptures but an awareness of current trends in our society which
threaten to undermine the biblical standards.
