Author: John C. LennoxPublisher: ZondervanWhat did the writer of Genesis mean by #the first day#?
Is it a literal week or a series of time periods?
If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, am I denying the authority of Scripture? In response to the continuing controversy over the interpretation of the creation narrative in Genesis, John Lennox proposes a succinct method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture.
With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative.
He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God#s intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth.
With this book, Lennox offers a careful yet accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.
