Overall, I was very disappointed. Rather than giving the reader a thoroughly Patristic interpretation of "Genesis, creation, and early man" we are instead subjected to page after page of the crassest biblical literalism, disgusting Protestant-based and -created pseudo-science, and the persistent assurance that anyone who disagrees with Fr. Seraphim's opinions on these matters is a heretic. Fr. Seraphim may quote heavily from the Fathers, but his approach is that of a Protestant fundamentalist, not the approach of the Holy Fathers of the Orthodox Christian Church. One is led to wonder what Fr. Seraphim might say about the allegorical or literal nature of the iconography he features throughout the book. The only redeeming feature of the book, and it is only slightly redeeming, is his treatment of Darwinism as a philosophy, which is, when inane references to pseudo-scientific theories are removed, actually a pretty good treatment.

"Genesis, creation, and early man has been compiled posthumously from a rich array of materials left behind by Fr. Seraphim. The second edition contains much new material to supplement Fr. Seraphim's work, including an updated preface outlining new developments in the creation/evolution debate, such as the rise of the intelligent design movement in the West and the defense of the Orthodox Patristic teaching on creation by theological writers and scientists in Russia; new explanatory notes on many topics pertaining to Genesis and creation, with further quotations from the Holy Fathers and extensive references to Patristic works; an article detailing the Scriptural-Patristic teaching on the incorruption of man and the cosmos before the fall, and showing its relevance to other aspects of Orthodox theology; and critiques of the modern philosophy of evolution by saints and holy elders, as well as by Orthodox scientists working in the fields of biology and geology." from publisher website Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
