Dru Johnson plonge dans les études bibliques et théologiques, explorant les liens complexes entre la connaissance, le rituel et l'Écriture. Son travail examine les implications philosophiques et théologiques inhérentes aux textes bibliques, offrant aux lecteurs de nouvelles perspectives sur la sagesse ancienne. L'approche de Johnson en matière de théologie analytique cherche à établir un pont entre les idées philosophiques contemporaines et les traditions bibliques durables. À travers ses écrits, il offre des aperçus profonds sur la manière dont les textes sacrés façonnent notre compréhension du monde et de la foi.
The book of Genesis might be the most Darwinian text of the ancient world. Can the ideas of Scripture and evolutionary science be mutually illuminating? Biblical scholar Dru Johnson calls us beyond creation-versus-evolution debates to explore the continuities and discontinuities between biblical themes and those of Darwin and modern science.
Biblical Philosophy examines how the Christian Scriptures argue philosophically with ancient and modern readers alike. Demonstrating the distinct genetic markers of a philosophical style, the Hebrew Bible and New Testament employed literary and philosophical strategies to reason about the nature of reality and our place within it.
The opening chapters of Genesis tell the story of how humans relate to the world--and to God. Genesis 1-11 is a parade of humanity's stories intertwined with the most intriguing subjects wrestled with today: the beginning of the cosmos, the nature of humanity, family, sex, deceit, death, murder, mass murder, ecology, agriculture, urbanization, and more. In The Universal Story, Dru Johnson shows how Genesis 1-11 is written in a way that informs the rest of biblical history--including the exodus, the kings of Israel, the exile, the Gospels, and early church. Genesis 1-11 presents a story of humanity that seeks to explain the background of every human endeavor. It is the universal story--the story of stories--because it is a story about how all of these things came to be the way the Hebrews understood them to be. These bizarre and ancient stories frame the story of God and His plan for earth and humanity.
