Genesis Account, The: A Theological, Historical, and Scientific Commentary on Genesis 1-11

This classic commentary on Genesis 1-11 contains a thorough analysis of the text itself, and defends the biblical creationist position: creation in six consecutive normal days, death resulting from Adam’s fall, a globe-covering Flood, and confusion of languages at Babel. In the process, it explains how the rest of the Bible interprets Genesis in the above straightforward manner.

While skilfully 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 most common objections to a plain understanding of these crucial Genesis texts.
