About the book

From AiG

Explores the Bible’s own claims about creation, evolution and the vital issues at stake in the dispute over the beginning of the universe by taking an in-depth look at Genesis 1 and comparing it to scientific evidence. Renowned Bible teacher and scholar John MacArthur answers the hard questions, equipping you to defend your faith.

From the publisher

“Thanks to the theory of evolution,” writes best-selling author John MacArthur, “naturalism is now the dominant religion of modern-society. Less than a century and a half ago, Charles Darwin popularized the credo for this secular religion. Naturalism has now replaced Christianity as the main religion of the Western world, and evolution has become its principal dogma.”

Many Christians who claim to believe that the Bible is God’s revealed truth seem willing to allow modern scientific theories to replace the Genesis account of creation. Such compromises present a conspicuous danger. Bible teacher and pastor, John MacArthur, believes that in Genesis 1-3 we find the foundation of every doctrine that is essential to the Christian faith—the vital underpinnings for everything we believe.

The Battle for the Beginning draws a clear line on today’s theological landscape. “Everything in Scripture that teaches about sin and redemption assumes the literal truth of the first three chapters of Genesis. If we wobble to any degree on the truth of this passage,” John MacArthur insists, “we undermine the very foundation of our faith.”
