This book is about Genesis and how far scientific discoveries can help us to understand it. Many of us are confused about what Genesis tells us, and how (and why) to approach its ancient story of the origin of the world and mankind. We are usually equally confused about what Genesis is, and what it can and cannot tell us. If we are willing to look for truth and consider other ways of seeing the world, we can emerge from the fog. This book gives a fresh and important approach to some of the deep down questions which trouble us most about where we can from, and why we are here.

It is simple to read in both style and length (190 pages). Lucas has his own views, but is fair to the spectrum. He is neither a literalist nor a sceptic. Instead, with a broad understanding of the scientific endeavour and its findings, he is able to say in a nicely measured way what the person reading Genesis can learn from the insights of science (and what they can't). I have no hesitation in recommending this to my church: it is not foolishly simplistic, it is humble about the conditional nature of both scientific and biblical interpretations (even ones he favours), it is more interested in how science and the Bible work together than fueling antagonism, it is well written, it contains a short list of sensible references at the end of each chapter, and it is keenly interested in the meaning of Genesis.
Originally written for SU, it was then reworked a decade later for this IVP edition. While it is a pity they didn't do better with the typsetting for the new edition, it has kept the price down, and that makes it even more accessible.
