Interpreting Genesis in the Light of Historical Witnesses is a thorough analysis of the first 11 chapters of the book of Genesis. As the name implies, the author takes a large sample of historical witnesses from The Targum Onqelos to John Calvin in order to evaluate how Genesis has been interpreted through history. Is it history? Is it allegory? Neither? See what these great minds have said, including Saint Augustine, Justine Martyr, and many others whose views you may find surprising.
“The evidence presented here should be enough to convince any reader that the literal-historical interpretation of Genesis is more reasonable than interpretations presented by theistic evolutionists.” p.115
The author's main target is theistic evolutionists. He says nothing about the Christ centered allegorical interpretation of the early church.
