The Days of Creation: A History of Christian Interpretation of Genesis 1:1-2:3

A volume from the History of Biblical Interpretation Series, Dr. Andrew J. Brown's The Days of Creation examines the history of Christian interpretation of the seven-day framework of Genesis 1:1-2:3 in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament from the post-apostolic era to the debates surrounding Essays and Reviews (1860). Included in the survey are patristic, medieval, Renaissance/Reformation, eighteenth-century Enlightenment and finally early to mid-nineteenth-century interpretations of the days of creation.

Brown's study enables an insight into the mighty career of a biblical text of seminal importance, and fills a significant niche in reception-historical research.
