Binocular Vision: Featuring Genesis 1-5 & Genesis 6:1-6 Jeanette Green

One of the most controversial Bible studies of today! In this Genesis adventure, using the King James Version, there is a new seasoning of truth for all. Great for group discussions!From the introduction of her book, the author creates an atmosphere of reason and a safe haven for any truth which can be revealed through rigorous investigation. She openly invites the reader to challenge her and discuss the issues at hand, creating more of a living dialogue between reader and speaker than a static argument. She later addresses each verse, uncovering and exploring different interpretations that make postulations about an array of subjects, including physics, evolution and even the creation of all matter. The uniqueness of Binocular Vision should be recognized immediately. Instead of proclaiming the truth of scriptures, either literally or metaphorically, Green searches within them for windows of truth that can glimpse many different avenues of thought. She does not board over the doorway leading to different viewpoints, but rather opens the gate to scientific and biblical similarities. Another interesting aspect of the book is the well-articulated letter, "A Woman In Defense," that Green includes. Bombarded by comments and scriptures that separate the level of religious positions between the sexes, she again examines the scriptures and drafts a letter. She hopes that those who believe in the spiritual differentiation of man and woman might consider a fresh interpretation, one that makes room for the non-traditional roles for woman as well. As unwavering as it is passionate, Binocular Vision maintains a stern commitment to objective analysis while investigating an almost limitless horizon of the wonders spoken of in Genesis. It deserves a special place on any bookshelf, Christian and scientist alike.
