Most Christians are familiar with the opening words of Genesis: "In
the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." But push
beyond those iconic words, and sometimes the details get a little hazy.
And strange. God walked around in a garden? Eve was made from Adam's
rib? A talking serpent? And what the in the world were the
"Nephilim"? In The Characters of Creation, Daniel Darling
reintroduces readers to the story they thought they knew. He explains
the Bible's story of how we got here and how things got messed up,
and gives fresh insights into the first people in God's unfolding
plan of redemptionfrom Adam and Eve, The Serpent, Cain and Abel, and Noah.
