Early in the series Goheen makes the statement "If Biship Ussher is right and the world was created in 4004 BC - Now of course nobody accepts that anymore." Huh? I understand there is a lot of debate on this topic, but to make such an emphatic statement as "nobody accepts that anymore" is reckless and comes across as somewhat condescending. There are brilliant, God fearing people who align with both Old and Young earth views. But I guess Goheen has retired the 'Young Earth Creationists' into the category of extinction. Overall this was an enjoyable series to watch. It's unfortunate the 'age of the earth' topic was handled in this way.

One of the best introduction courses I've ever studied! After this course I could identify the Bible's "meta-narrative" as the coming of God's kingdom to earth. Goheen truly introduces the "story" of the Bible and he gives a good overview of everything in the Bible. I especially liked Unit 1 and 2 where he talks about worldviews, how our lives are shaped by narratives, and what theological implications we can find in Genesis 1-2. I warmly recommend this course!
