Namun justru pe- ngembangannya dilakukan oleh Calvin dan Melancthon, khususnya theologi yang begitu ketat dikerjakan Calvin dan kini menjadi dasar bagi gereja Reformed yang dikenal dengan Theologi Reformed atau Calvinisme.

The opening chapters of Genesis - important at any time - have been the focal point of controversy for more than a century. Few topics have been so hotly debated by theologians, philosophers and scientists alike. Henri Blocher argues that our primary task is to discover what these key chapters of the Bible originally meant. Only then will we be able to unravel the knotty issues surrounding huma…
Creation in six days. Woman from the side of man. "Sons of god" taking "daughters of men". A massive disaster and an animal rescue boat of biblical proportions. Abraham, Sarah, Hagar and the ongoing saga of a dysfunctional family. These are just a few of the episodes that Genesis conjures up. But we miss the point if we focus on what seems strange to us.

Let's face it. Just the word exegesis puts some of us on edge. We are excited about learning to interpret the Bible, but the thought of exegetical method evokes a chill. Some textbooks on exegesis do nothing to overcome these apprehensions. The language is dense. The concepts are hard. And the expectations are way too high.
