In our day, many voices are questioning whether we can take seriously the opening chapters of the book of Genesis in what they relate about God's creation of the world.

Dr. Tom Eger, president of Concordia Seminary St. Louis, talking about his presentation at this year's issues, etc., making the case conference.

And what difference does it make, whether we regard the opening chapters of Genesis

as a true record of what God did and how he did it?

And there are a number of implications for our Christian life and faith,

and for our proclamation of the saving work of Christ

involved in how we read the opening chapters of Genesis. You can meet and hear Dr. Tom Eger

making the case for the biblical account of creation at the 2025 Making the Case Conference

Friday, July 18th, and Saturday, Julyth, at Concordia University, Chicago.

It is one of the bedrock principles of Christian theology, scripture alone.

Every time someone or a church or an institution is attempted to add to or take away from scripture, as Christ forbids us to do, in the last chapter of the Bible.

Every time that's been tried, it has resulted in soul-damming, false teaching, sometimes even

heresy.

Greetings in, welcome to Issues, etc., coming to you from the studios of Lutheran Public Radio

in Collinsville, Illinois.

I'm Todd Wilkin. Thanks for tuning us in.

We're going to be listening to Pastor Chris Roseboro of Fighting for the Faith,

making the case for scripture alone from the 22 issues et cetera,

making the case conference.

An hour from now, we'll look forward to the seventh Sunday of Easter,

according to the one-year lectionary with Pastor Peter Bender.
