Book Reviews of The Genesis Debate : Three Views on the Days of Creation
Book Review: Two Out of Three Ain't Bad
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this book to gain a greater understanding of the 24-hour and framework views. I found the day-age views and the framework views extremely well presented. Whether or not you agree with these positions, the authors present their views thoughtfully, respectfully, and with great clarity and depth. I found the essays from both views to be very enjoyable and I learned something from both of them.
The 24-hour view, however, was a great disappointment. The presentation basically boiled down to "This is the way the average person would read this passage. Historically, this has been the way the church interpreted it. That's the way we should interpret it today." This position was stated and restated over and over, and far from being compelling, it grew tedious very quickly.
Not only was the 24-hour argument repetitive, but it was stated with great disrespect to the other views. The tone was sarcastic and condescending, and in their critiques, the authors consistently and repeatedly misrepresented the other two views. In my opinion, the initial 24-hour essay and the 24-hour rebuttals were counterproductive, shallow, and not fitting a respectful Christian exchange.
I purchased this book to gain more understanding of the framework and 24-hour views. I got only half of what I was looking for. I highly recommend it for the day-age and framework discussions, which are scholarly, respectful, and interesting. If you are looking for the same from the 24-hour view, you will have to look elsewhere.
