About this title

Synopsis

The churches have misunderstood Genesis. This failure to understand affects virtually every central doctrine of Christianity. The Past is a Prophet explains its meaning in a new light, revealing in a new way its astounding implications for the Gospel. Denying both evolutionism and traditional creationism, it explains creation as transformation or recycling of what already existed. And astonishingly, that which existed was God together with the world.

The Past is a Prophet provides startling, eye-opening answers for some of the most perplexing questions that Christians have wondered about. It explains, in a new and totally unexpected but encouraging way, why Adam and Eve ate from that enigmatic tree in Eden, showing it to have been an act of faith prefiguring Christ and the Church. It explains how life could emerge from the earth itself. It tells the important typological meaning of the stories of Cain and Abel, the Tower of Babel, Noah and the Flood, and others. The Past is a Prophet shows those early events to have been Gospel stories. They were prophecies. The beginning prefigures the end. Creation is a poem that rhymes.
