This material began as an adult Sunday School class taught at First Presbyterian Church of Boulder, Colorado in Spring 2007. I have taken my speaking notes and edited them into better written English, and made a few small changes here and there, but 90% of this material is the same as the original course.

The original course also included one Sunday on creation care; that is not included in this "course" but can be accessed separately under the title Evangelicals and the Environment: Checkered Past, Brighter Future.

If you don't have the time or interest to read all 40+ pages of material, I have also made a 6-page Executive Summary.

The course material is available (in PDF format) in the following "chapters," which I would suggest reading in order:

• Preface (1 page)
• Chapter 1: Building a Foundation (6 pages)
• Chapter 2: Warfare: Phony and Real (8 pages)
• Chapter 3: Reading the Bible, Especially Genesis (10 pages)
• Chapter 4: Natural Theology and Theology of Nature (7 pages)
• Chapter 5: The E-Word (Evolution) (9 pages)
• Chapter 6: Take-Home Points (1 page)
