Week 4 - Cain + The Flood

So we're four weeks into our study of Genesis. You can get the past week's notes by clicking here or if you'd prefer a PDF file of the same document, you can click here.

Additionally, for those of you whose mind flipped out when someone asked, "Where there dinosaurs on Noah's ark" - this is a website of the Institute for Creation Research, based out of Dallas. The ICR is filled with reputable Ph.d-level Scientists who are followers of Christ who write articles about various issues. You can type in "Noah's ark" or "Dinosaurs" on the search button. For example, I found this article on the scientific feasibility of Noah's ark quite interesting.

Also, we had a question about interpreting the Bible.

I do have a question. You talked about exegesis and eisegesis as if they were equally valid ways to approach Bible reading. I have always heard that we never should use eisegesis, as that is putting our own meaning into God's word which may not at all be what the writer intended. We should always read trying to understand what the writer meant. What definition are you using for eisegesis?

This is an important question; you can read my response here.

Also, if you'd like, here's the reading schedule for the next month, just so you know where we are. Hope to see you this Thursday at 7 p.m.
