Abstract

Genesis stands as the historical and theological foundation of the whole canonical scriptures. The declaration of the self-existent and transcendent creator God in the opening statement of chapter one functions as the theological cornerstone of all biblical revelation. The theological framework and biblical doctrines from Genesis 1-3, set a stage of God's historical and eschatological plan for all humanity. With the socio-political openness and rapid economic growth that has recently occurred, more Chinese people have become capable of going overseas to study, vacation, work, or migrate. Many intellectuals and new immigrants have experienced Christianity and the culture of local Chinese churches in the United States. College campuses and their surrounding cities have become new 'mission fields' where evangelistic apologetic work becomes imperatively and strategically significant. A study of Genesis 1-3 focusing on biblical doctrines will help Chinese intellectuals and immigrants to reevaluate their embedded Chinese traditional thought, philosophy, Confucianism and atheistic worldview. Equipping Chinese pastors and Bible teachers to use Genesis 1-3 as the preaching and teaching materials to Chinese intellectuals who are in Chinese churches in the United States is one of the preeminent evangelistic apologetic strategies.
