Genesis Science and History: A Faith Building Look at the Opening Chapters of Genesis

by Douglas Jacoby

This is a faith-building and eye-opening exploration of the scientific and literary themes in the opening chapters of the Bible. With attention to everything from theories about the age of the earth to the extent of Noah's flood, there is something for everyone in this readable, informative look at Genesis 1-11. The author attempts to show science and the Bible ned not be pitted against one another in the minds of sincere, informed believers.
