Lost World of Genesis One, The: Ancient
Cosmology and the Origin Debate, John H.
Walton. Based on a rigorous study of the
Hebrew word "bara" (create) and ancient
Near Eastern literature, Walton argues that
Genesis 1 was written to show the people inthat ancient Near Eastern world that thecosmos was created as a functioning temple
where God takes up his residence as his
headquarters from which he runs the world.
The creation account is far more concernedwith the cosmos being given its functions as God's temple than
it is with modern people's questions of what can be learned fromscience regarding origins. So it sheds fresh light on origins while
recognizing the real authority of God's Word. A5 size, 200 pp.

coming along side them, being with them and supporting them,leaving questions of guilt to God. B6 size, 176 pp. ISBN 978-4-

justice or vice versa. Smith shows us how to bring spiritual

formation and community engagement together, and then once

about God and the world in our souls. Includes reflection anddiscussion questions. B6* size, 352 pages. ISBN 978-4-26403952-5 (Ekusasaizu III: Tomo ni Kami no Ai ni Ikiru)(14520) ¥2,376

nature of God. Christians worship one God who manifests
Himself in three distinct persons. He deals with objections andalso outlines the chief errors on this doctrine that have affected

a warm bed. Thus begins a procession of creatures seeking
shelter, including Mary and Joseph. Shepherds will never forget
this night, and the creatures of the stable know they won't either.
