Creation and the Fall: A Defence and Exposition of the First Three Chapters of Genesis (Classic Reprint) by Donald Macdonald

by Donald Macdonald

Excerpt from Creation and the A Defence and Exposition of the First Three Chapters of Regarding the object of this volume, and the call which at present exists for an investigation of the subject treated of, enough has been said in the Introduction. Some explanation may, however, be necessary of the presumption which may be supposed to attach to the Author's undertaking a task of such magnitude. At the commencement of his exegetical study of the Hebrew Scriptures, he encountered several of the difficulties which he here attempts to solve, and while seeking information from all available sources, was surprised to find how little satisfaction could be obtained in the productions of the best-accredited writers - some making exceedingly light of such difficulties, or only partially considering them, and others having lived before the more pressing questions of the present day were raised.
