Enter one of the most exciting and revelatory books on Genesis to have hit the shelves in a long time. For scholar and theologian Gregory Rogers has undertaken a bold experiment - that of taking cutting edge Old Testament scholarship from leading journals and commentaries, and presenting it in a vibrant and readable way, making it alive and accessible to the everyman. In the spirit of William Barclay, Rogers has committed himself to taking little-known themes and facts of this first great book of the Bible, and expounding them full and clear in this engaging first volume of a series on Genesis. In Unlocking the Secrets of Genesis I: Beginnings, the reader is invited to go step by step with those early Bible patriarchs, Adam, Seth and Noah, in their pioneering journeys to unknown lands and unthought-of dangers, as they unwittingly form the bedrock of God''s great plan of salvation for the human race. Learn little-known, mind-blowing facts and truths as you journey with them day by day in the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis. Learn, for example: -What in fact was the Tower of Babel? -What is the powerful connection between Eden and Israel? -What are the explosive implications of the ''seed of the woman'' and the ''seed of the serpent''? All of commentary, devotional, and exuberant reading experience, Unlocking the Secrets of Genesis I: Beginnings is a bold and unique venture in Bible teaching. One thing is for sure: the reader will never quite see Genesis in the same way again.

Looking for answers to the reincarnation riddle? Yes, the world is getting smaller - and with that, East and West are drawing ever closer together. Claims of past-life experiences abound on TV talk-shows and in the media. Questions and perhaps even doubts arise, questions such as: -''Have we lived before?'' -''TV talk-shows mention it all the time - could there be something to the theory of reincarnation after all?'' or even -''Does the Bible teach reincarnation?'' Yet there is no need for confusion. If you are seeking a definitive answer as to whether reincarnation is compatible with the Bible - or, for that matter, with the Christian faith, period - then this book is for you. ''Reincarnation in Perspective'', written by theologian and apologist Gregory Rogers, answers all such questions thoroughly and convincingly. Rogers expertly separates the wheat from the chaff, analyzing reincarnation theory in the light of biblical theology and the witness of scripture. Not only does the book provide a thorough basis for the biblical theology of salvation and resurrection, it also heartily dissects key verses often invoked in the reincarnation debate. Several further chapters likewise answer the question as to whether reincarnation was taught by the church fathers or the early church. The penultimate chapter tackles the thorny question of whether there truly is empirical or scientific backing for reincarnation theory. Finally, the question is raised as to whether the theory of reincarnation is as just and fair-minded as is often made out. ''Reincarnation in Perspective'' presents its case vigorously and engagingly, leaving no room for doubt in the mind of the honest enquirer.
