From Creation to the Tower of Babel offers a structured exposition of Genesis 1-11, examining the foundational acts of Creation, Fall, and Redemption that shape the grand narrative of Holy Scripture. Drawing upon careful biblical exegesis, historical theology, and a rigorous creationist framework, Steven R. Martins argues that the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo is exegetically grounded in Scripture and consistently affirmed within the Christian tradition.
Presented in a clear, semi-outline format, this volume balances analytical precision with pedagogical clarity. Martins situates the early chapters of Genesis within their redemptive-historical context, demonstrating their theological coherence and enduring significance for Christian worldview formation. The work resists both reductionist readings and speculative approaches, offering instead a disciplined and text-driven account of Genesis as the foundation for biblical theology.
Well suited for academic study, classroom use, and serious readers of Scripture, this volume serves as a reliable guide to the theological architecture of Genesis 1-11.
