Critical discussion on John Walton's view of Genesis 1
DONATE: www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted...
John Walton is an Old Testament scholar who believes that early Genesis is composed of myths. These myths, according to Walton, are derived from Israel’s ancient Near Eastern neighbors. Walton suggests that the ancient Israelites borrowed bits and pieces from the ANE and composed their own creation myths. Importantly, Walton believes that Genesis 1 has nothing to do with material creation, but should instead be understood only in terms of functionality, where God is assigning already existing material objects with functions. These kinds of reinterpretations of Genesis 1-3 are becoming more popular with William Lane Craig’s mytho-history and John Collins’ proto-history. Dr. Coulson carefully evaluates Walton’s thesis and finds a number of areas that make Walton’s view incoherent with the rest of the Bible.
