At the core of the massive number of articles, sermons, speeches and--books dealing with the first eleven chapters of the bible is actually not about those chapters. It is--how we view the bible and what we actually believe about the bible. Many well-meaning--believers buy into certain interpretations without really considering what is happening in the--background that drives those interpretations. In this sermon we deal with what the bible says--about itself as opposed to what some so-called scholars say about it.
