This classic commentary on Genesis 1–11 contains a thorough analysis
of the text itself, and has a number of features that set it apart from
many other Genesis commentaries:
It defends the biblical
creationist position: creation in six consecutive normal days, death
resulting from Adam’s fall, and a globe-covering Flood, and confusion of
languages at Babel, and in the process it explains how the rest of the
Bible interprets Genesis in the above straightforward manner.
While
skillfully documenting how interpreters throughout Church history have
taught the above, and that long-age death-before-sin views were a
reaction to 19th-century uniformitarian geology, it also provides
cutting-edge scientific support for the Genesis history.
Importantly
it demonstrates that all doctrines of Christianity begin in Genesis
1–11, and straightforwardly answers the commonest objections to a plain
understanding of these crucial Genesis texts.
While many Christian scholars have reinterpreted Genesis 1–11 in light
of evolutionary-based science, Dr Sarfati works with the theological and
historical meaning of the biblical text and then integrates science
from a biblical perspective
