What did “the authors “ of Genesis mean by” the first day “? Is it a literal week or a series of periods of time? If I believe that the land is 4.5 billion years old, am I revoking the authorities concerned of Scripture? In response to the continuing controversy over the interpretation of the establishment narrative in Genesis, John Lennox proposes a succinct technique of reading and interpreting the first assemblies of Genesis without rejecting either science or Scripture. With illustrations from history, a brief but scrupulous exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox is demonstrated that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while remaining loyal to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the disagreement, insisting that Genesis schools us far more about the God of Jesus christ and about God’s intention for start-up 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 presentation of Genesis.
