    Overview

    Fourteen theological scholars address key topics related to the age of the earth, which is the crucial issue of debate in the church today regarding origins. Bringing to bear rigorous biblical, theological, and historical arguments in favor of a six-day creation, the global Flood, and a young earth, they also provide much-needed critiques of a number of contemporary old-earth interpretations of the book of Genesis.

    Fourteen theological scholars address key topics related to the age of the earth, which is the crucial issue of debate in the church today regarding origins. Bringing to bear rigorous biblical, theological, and historical arguments in favor of a six-day creation, the global Flood, and a young earth, they also provide much-needed critiques of a number of contemporary old-earth interpretations of the book of Genesis.

    This fresh defense of the literal history of Genesis 1-11 nicely complements other studies which focus more on the scientific evidence of young-earth creationism. As such, this book can serve as a versatile supplement to other works, but is also designed to be used as a standalone text for seminary and Bible college professors and students, pastors, missionaries, and others who want in-depth apologetic resources.

    Coming to Grips with Genesis: Biblical Authority and the Age of the Earthincludes:

    • Forewords by Dr. John MacArthur, President of the Master's Seminary and Senior Pastor of Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, CA; and the late Dr. Henry Morris, Founder and President Emeritus, Institute for Creation Research
    • Detailed analysis of the verbs of Genesis 1
    • A defense of the Genesis 5 & 11 genealogies as strict chronologies
    • Reasons for rejecting millions of years of death and natural evil before Adam's sin
    • Careful reflection on Jesus' teachings regarding a young earth
    An excellent resource to have!!
    Review by Abbie
    Recently we were passing through Idabel, Oklahoma with our 8 younger children and decided to stop at the Dinosaur Museum. My son was looking at a fossil that had a tag on it that stated the fossil was over 6 million years old. He made a comment to me - "well that's debatable" and immediately the curators of the museum were at his side. "Young man! This is scientifically proven with several tests. The earth is millions of years old."
    My son stood there and held his ground against scholars who wanted to debate the young earth "theory". And due to the apologetics background of several resources from MB, including this one, he left them all silent on the matter. In the end they could not argue with him.

    This book takes a look at the young earth view and defends it through Scriptures. I believe that every home should have this book on their reference shelf to be reviewed at times. We live in a world that wants to do everything they can to disprove the Bible.
