How Should a Pastor Use Genesis | Gregory Waybright

Lecture Title - Reading Genesis in Church: Some Pastoral Reflections along the Way In Genesis, the book of beginnings, we discover the foundation for our understanding of who God is, who we are as human beings, and the world in which we live — both what is good about it as well as for what has gone wrong. It is thus not surprising either that we find ourselves coming back to Genesis 1-3 week-upon-week and generation-upon-generation, or that it has been among the most divisive passages of the Bible. In this opening address, Gregory Waybright narrates the story of his own church, representative of so many, and how one pastor has learned to appreciate the complex relationship between science and theology. Providing pastoral guidance for how we the church must respond, Waybright will suggest several theological priorities and attitudes of heart and mind that are vital for God-honoring church-edifying response in the midst go these divisive times. Gregory Waybright (PhD Marquette University) is President Emeritus of Trinity International University (1995-2007). He has also pastored churches in California, Wisconsin, and Illinois. The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
