Synopsis

The battle lines have been drawn. Is the enemy winning?"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 undermind the very foundations of our faith."

An excellent commentary dealing with the first three chapters of Genesis. MacArthur not only attacks evolution but also attacks many false teachings in the church today.

Goodreads review by Jimmy on April 01, 2022

What does the first three chapters of Genesis have to say about the world we live in? In this book by Pastor and Teacher John MacArthur we have an exposition of Genesis 1-3 covering largely the topic of God’s creation of the world and also how sin entered the world. This was adapted from MacArthur’s......more

Goodreads review by Jay on June 05, 2012

I'm not done yet, but I'm storing so much in my head to write about this book that I'm afraid I'm going to start spilling it all over the floor and I'll never get it all collected back together again. So this might be a little jumpy. (1) The first part of the book really made me angry; the way he was......more

Goodreads review by Debbie on January 26, 2025

John MacArthur takes the reader through the seven days of creation and God's plan for the redemption of mankind.
