Scoffers: Responding to Those Who Deliberately Overlook Creation and the Flood
by Simon TurpinThe pervasive influence of unbelievers is a force that demands an answer from the body of Christ. Scoffers: Responding to Those Who Deliberately Overlook Creation and the Flood offers a strong defense for biblical authority equipping believers to stand firm, preach the truth, and make disciples. “The reality of the biblical account of the Flood is that it is a horrifying account of judgment but also one of glorifying redemption.” The scoffers of Peter’s day were very much like modern-day skeptics in that they deliberately overlook the facts of biblical history. The cost of their unbelief is catastrophic even within the Christian church. Author Simon Turpin, the executive director of Answers in Genesis in the U.K., prepares us to confidently counter the philosophical bias of scoffers by: Revealing how the Gospel of salvation can only be understood in light of the Genesis account of a six-day creation and the global Flood. Providing an in-depth analysis of 2 Peter 3 to defend the biblical account of Creation against the false notions propagated by scoffers. Presenting a strong defense for the coming of Christ and Christianity for those who have rejected the truths found in Genesis 1 – 11. Scoffers gives today’s Christian families and leaders a strong defense for the authority of God’s Word helping the Church to “withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” Ephesians 6:13.
