Why take this course?

Can Catholics believe in evolution? Who’s more to blame, Adam or Eve? 
What is the meaning of the flood?

To many, the biblical book of Genesis seems mysterious and confusing. At best, it contains ancient stories that are irrelevant to the modern reader; at worst, it forces upon Christians irrational beliefs that have been disproven by scientific findings. What value does Genesis truly hold for us today, and how are we to properly read it so as to avoid such pitfalls?

In this Word on Fire Institute course, Dr. Christopher Kaczor argues that Genesis provides perennial wisdom for human living, urging viewers to familiarize themselves with the pivotal text. Working through its first eleven chapters—which cover creation, the fall, the flood, and more—he both demonstrates how to interpret them in a way consistent with modern knowledge and extrapolates from them sage advice of everlasting relevance. Any believer or nonbeliever who feels intimidated by these dense narratives will benefit from Dr. Kaczor’s important exegesis.

Seven Days

In the first lesson of the course, Dr. Kaczor explains how to properly read Genesis and tackles the question of a literal seven-day creation.

The Evolution of Adam

Dr. Kaczor refutes the notion that belief in the creation of the first man Adam, is at odds with contemporary evolutionary biology.

Lesson 3 

Eve

Dr. Kaczor unpacks these next few chapters of Genesis to deal with the implications of Eve’s creation and temptation.

Lesson 4 

The Fall

Why did Adam and Eve hide from God after their sin? Dr. Kaczor answers important questions about the fall and explores their theological significance.

Lesson 5 

Cain and Able

 Dr. Kaczor uses the story of Cain and Abel to discuss social comparison and the different ways of dealing with human suffering.

Lesson 6

Noah and Babel

What lessons can we draw from the stories of Noah’s ark and the Tower of Babel today? Dr. Kaczor uses these two stories to deliver biblical guidance that is as relevant today as in ancient times.
