Dr. Pythress is offering his eBook Interpreting Eden: A Guide to Faithfully Reading and Understanding Genesis 1-3 (400 plus pages) Free from Crossway. 
What the publisher says: Christians have long discussed and debated the first three chapters of the Bible. How we interpret this crucial section of Scripture has massive implications for how we understand the rest of God’s Word and even history itself. In this important volume, biblical scholar Vern Poythress combines careful exegesis with theological acumen to illuminate the significance of Genesis 1–3. In doing so, he demonstrates the sound interpretive principles that lead to true understanding of the biblical text, while also exploring complex topics such as the nature of time, the proper role of science, interpretive literalism, and more.

Once there was a ShepherdHe lived with His sheep Strayed and floundered Off they wandered The Shepherd knew their need 
Once there was a Shepherd He cared for His flock Trapped in thicket Maimed with limits Healing, He helps them walk 
Once there was a Shepherd Thief and robber came Trouble in pen Attacking themHe rescued each by name
Once there was a ShepherdTroubled sheep did pleaSome heard His voice And made a choiceCalled to the Lord they see
Now there is a Shepherd He knows you by nameHe speaks to you Gave His life tooThis Shepherd came to save
Yes there is a Shepherd The triumphant KingHe died and roseAnd knows your foesWill you be following?

God, your goodness reaches to the heavens  Seen in all the gifts you have given Your great love endures forever  Glorious might I treasure 
God, you alone are the great Trinity  Revealed in Scripture and history  A mighty one to save the meek Rampart and shield for the weak
God, you’re majestic in all your glory With your splendor reigning over me Triumphing sin, death, and satan All evil you have beaten
For he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever 2 Chronicles 5:13
