Exploring Creation Highlights in Providential History

(ICR-SOBA's Back to Genesis lecture series)
  • Dates: February 22 & 29, 2024 (2 Thursdays)
  • Time: 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.
  • Location: Institute for Creation Research, 1806 Royal Lane, Dallas, TX 75229 (Classroom A)

Overview

This course blends Bible exposition, creation science, and Providential history and explores various examples of how God diversely and gloriously works in Providential history, including events in Biblical history and church history (e.g., A.D1500s & A.D.1600s), as God sovereignly rules and providentially interacts with peoples in various lands (Acts 17:26; Isaiah 55:10-11), including displays of His careful and caring provision of natural forces (e.g., lightning, gale-force winds, fog, etc.) in providential ways, in support of God’s Genesis Mandate (Genesis 9:1-7) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). In the Providential history part of this program examples of God’s providence will be reviewed, especially historic persons and events contributing to the preservation and transmission of the Holy Bible, including gits translation and distribution, to the “uttermost parts of the earth,” with several illustrations from the AD1500s and AD1600s.  In the creation highlights part of this program includes information about how lightning, thunder, and stormy winds are vital to Earth’s weather systems, as well as information about how animals (such as lions, geese, swans, doves, etc.).  These topical studies are presented with the intent of blending the authoritative information given in Scripture with the corroborative facts learned via relevant science. Genesis-based creation science and apologetics insights are analyzed (until time runs out!), linked to Biblical creation stewardship aspects of both the Genesis Mandate and Great Commission. 

The main presenter of this course is ICR’s Dr. James J. S. Johnson, whose relevant credentials include doctoral degrees in Bible and theology (ThD, DMin), plus NST certifications in geopolitical history (CNHG), international studies/geography (CNIA), and wildlife ecology (CNWE), ecology-related credentials in limnology (CWQM) and geography (MSGeog), post-doc certifications in forensic sciences (CIHE, CPEE), and specialized service (historian, Scottish Society of Dallas; historian-naturalist for 3 international cruise lines; Bicentennial Protestant Chaplain for the Nation’s Capital area, Boys Scouts of America; Rekefest Lecturer, Norwegian Society of Texas; scholar awardee, American Bible Society Award for excellence in Biblical studies and Biblical languages), etc.
