About this listen

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."

This is one of the best commentaries on the Genesis Creation narrative I have heard. Given with sound doctrinal and biblical research it is conveyed in a pleasant and interesting format that the average layperson can easily follow and understand.

I like that Pastor John was so thorough in his treatment of this subject. There is nothing I didnt like. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know how to defend their position on Creation. For anyone really. The audio was excellent. The narrator was clear and pleasant.
