Product Description

Genesis, Science & History is a faith-building and eye-opening exploration of the scientific and literary themes in the opening chapters of the Bible. With attention to everything from theories about the age of the earth to the extent of Noah's flood, there is something for everyone in this readable, informative look at Genesis 1-11. As the author attempts to show, science and the Bible need not be pitted against one another in the minds of sincere, informed believers.

Douglas Jacoby, B.A., M.T.S., D.Min., writes about the God who created and then made himself known to his creation. Taking positions that are not always traditional, he carefully deals with scientific issues raised by Genesis. But he never forgets that the chief aim of a Bible expositor is to help readers see the wisdom of God and apply it to his or her life.

This book will not answer every question that today's Bible student may have about Genesis, creation, history and science, but it will point sincere readers in a helpful direction and leave them grateful for the God of the Bible, the God of Genesis, science and history.

Genesis, Science & History: A Faith-Building Look at the Opening Chapters of Genesis 4 5 1 1

This is one of the better books "out-there" on the topic. Balanced in approach. Logical. Good chapter length. He makes a good case for an approach to Genesis that is sensible that actually helps diffuse tension in the on-going creation/ evolution debate.The book does justice to good science and good interpretation.
