Why Genesis Is History, Not Myth or Poetry

Genesis is often debated: is it history, poetry, or myth? Why does it matter if it’s taken as literal history? Explore how Genesis lays the foundation for biblical doctrines and explains the origin of death and suffering. Can a worldview without Genesis uphold moral absolutes, or does it shift the basis for truth entirely? Dr Jonathan Sarfati unpacks the textual and theological reasons Genesis should be read as history. Discover the literary structure, the connection to the gospel, and how New Testament writers and Jesus Himself affirmed Genesis as real events. Dr Sarfati reveals why compromising on Genesis impacts not just theology but the essence of the gospel itself.
